FRIDAY, MARCH 22
PROGRAM # 8569 12:00 PM PT
Mexico Edition.
Since January of this year, the federal government has cut back financial aid for migrant shelters along the border line in northern Mexico, which provide temporary shelter for the deportees, those who hope to cross and those who hope to stay in Mexico. While the migratory flow grows, and extortion and violence continue to tax Central Americans without any authority intervening, the offer of the Obrador administration focuses on the development of the southeast, through the construction of a refinery in Tabasco, a railway circuit and a trans-isthmus channel, which in the future would give employment to the thousands of displaced people who arrive in the country. That development zone, President López Obrador said, would stop the migration and to find support he met with Jared Kushner, son-in-law and advisor to President Trump, in the house of the vice president of Televisa company. Martha Elena Ramírez, conducts this broadcast of the Voz Pública program, from Mexico City.
