Back in Guanajuato and with support to start businesses: more than 60 grants awarded to migrants

71

Migrants returning to Guanajuato after deportation or return from the United States received new support to start businesses and rebuild their lives.

The government, led by Governor Libia Dennise García Muñoz Ledo, distributed 61 productive and economic support grants as part of the “Migrante Te Quiero” (Migrant, I Love You) program, a strategy focused on facilitating the social and economic reintegration of those returning to the state.

During the fourth distribution of the Assisted Return Plan, authorities reported that 1,294,000 pesos were allocated to support returning migrants and their families. Of the total support, 43 grants were directed toward productive projects, and 18 were direct economic assistance intended to address immediate needs arising from the return process.

The initiative aims to help beneficiaries generate income through small businesses or strengthen existing economic activities. The goal is to offer alternatives so that those returning can find employment and development opportunities in their communities of origin.

How many support packages did returning migrants receive?

A total of 61 support packages were distributed.

43 were for productive projects.

18 were direct financial aid packages.

The investment totaled 1,294,000 pesos.
It is part of the state strategy “Migrante Te Quiero” (Migrant, I Love You).

During the event, the Governor of Guanajuato stated that the program aims to support those returning to the state after experiencing complex migration processes.

“Now that they have arrived in Guanajuato, they can start their own businesses,” the governor said.

The strategy is operated through the Secretariat of Human Rights and is part of the state’s actions aimed at the migrant population in the context of mobility. The resources seek to address both urgent needs and medium-term projects related to self-employment and entrepreneurship.

How does the “Migrante Te Quiero” program work?

It supports people deported or returned from the United States.

It promotes productive projects and entrepreneurship.
It provides economic resources for immediate needs.
It seeks to facilitate economic and social reintegration.
It is implemented through state programs for migrant assistance.

In addition to distributing aid to migrants, the governor led the inauguration of urban infrastructure projects in the Lomas del Padre neighborhood of the state capital. These projects included the paving of Sábila, Viznaga, and El Loco streets, a long-standing demand from residents that, according to authorities, had been pending for years.

The work included paving roads, constructing sidewalks, installing sanitary and storm drainage systems, a potable water network, LED streetlights, and traffic signs. According to the state government, these actions aim to improve mobility and safety conditions for residents of the area.

The combination of migrant support programs and infrastructure projects is part of the state agenda focused on addressing social and urban needs in various municipalities of Guanajuato. In the case of the migrant population, the challenge remains to generate opportunities that facilitate their economic integration after returning to the state, particularly for those seeking to start a new stage after living abroad.
