Mexico is making a tremendous amount of money off of remittances that their citizens working inside the United States are sending back home, and their government is fighting hard against President-elect Donald Trump’s threats of mass deportations.
From Breitbart: Mexico’s government has announced a new program to provide emergency legal and consular assistance to migrants in the United States. The move comes as Mexico prepares for the expected mass deportation wave from the incoming administration of President-Elect Donald J. Trump.
On Friday morning, during a news conference hosted by Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexico’s Foreign Relations Minister Juan Ramon De La Fuente announced that his staff had a new program called PALE (Program of External Legal Advisory) that had a series of attorneys, law firms, and advisors in the U.S. that had volunteered to assist consular officials and migrants in case they faced issues with immigration authorities in that country. During the presentation, they also announced the development of an application that would act as a panic button that individuals could press and be patched to consular officials and legal assistance.
The program has a call center where Mexicans in the U.S. can call and be immediately connected to their nearest consulate for legal assistance.
“To deport someone from the United States, a judicial order is needed,” De La Fuente said. “There needs to have been a final deportation or removal sentence, as they call it in legal terms.”
“For there to be a deportation, there has to be an order from a judge that shows it, and that is where we are going to be very vigilant to make sure that due process is followed,” he declared.
“Our fellow countrymen and women deserve dignified and efficient treatment from their government, which is why we are strengthening Mexican consulates abroad,” Sheinbaum declared in a social media post.

The Associated Press recently reported that remittances sent back to Mexico by Mexican nationals living in the United States was a whopping $63 billion in 2023 – up from $33.5 billion in 2018.
The remittances play a huge role in fueling the economy in Mexico.
During a press conference last week, Sheinbaum had a musical group to perform the “Migrant Hymn” praising Mexicans who are now living in the United States.
