In the region there is fear that President-elect Donald Trump will fulfill his promise of mass deportations of undocumented migrants.

After Donald Trump’s electoral victory in USA, Mexico It is being prepared in case the Republican keeps his promise to toughen his immigration policy. The government of Claudia Sheinbaum announced last Thursday that They are talking to other countries in the region to receive those who are expelled from the United States.

«Yes, Foreign Minister Juan Ramón de la Fuente is talking to some other countries whose inhabitants cross the national territory to reach the northern border,” confirmed Sheinbaum. For some time now they have been proposing to the United States that they not expel them to Mexico directly, but rather that are repatriated to the different countries of origin.

With this initiative, the mexican president reaffirms its policy towards the south of the continent, a region that is united by a common history and culture, beyond ties with the countries of North America. «The chancellor, he is going to explain it, but (he is talking) with several countries, particularly in Central America, and we will always be close, because Although we have a trade agreement with the United States and Canada (the T-ME), we will always be close to Latin America“, considered Sheinbaum.

The mass deportations promised by Trump

It is estimated that In the United States, around 11 million Mexicans live without documentationaccording to that country’s media outlet. Given this size, the Mexican government’s caution in the face of Trump’s promises to carry out mass deportations is inevitable.

If these promises by the president-elect of the United States come true, there would not only be a human impact, but also an economic one. The remittances sent to their country by Mexicans living there represent almost 4% of Mexico’s gross domestic product (GDP). In 2024 alone, an estimated record of US$65 billion would be received.

In this regard, the president Sheinbaum sent a message to his compatriots: «Of course we are going to continue defending Mexican men and women in the United States, it is our responsibility, and In case there are deportations, we will prepare to welcome them».
