Immigrants turn down factory jobs in El Paso, Texas
Tagged: Mexico“Each day, dozens of undocumented immigrants are returned to Mexico at the Paso del Norte Bridge in Downtown El Paso. They are drained and disappointed by their failure to emigrate but still dream of bettering themselves through hard work. Meanwhile in Juárez, where they land, maquila executives struggle each day to alleviate a severe worker shortage.
So it was a clever idea to offer the returning migrants a job on a factory line.
But so far, there have been no takers.
The program is called Repatriados Trabajando, or Deportees at Work, and it offers a job in a maquiladora, lodging in a shelter and 15 days worth of free food to immigrants who sign up.”
