Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

This is already backfiring among us mexicans, people are angry because she and her party have scared away jobs with their law breaking policies, negligence and nepotism, so magically now she swears to create jobs for those who left the country... What about the rest of the country?
Besides she can say whatever she wants, until those jobs are created and turn out to actually be decent ones, this is just populism.
I'm not seeing anything in that article that indicates these jobs have to be for people who are returning to the country. They seem to be open for anybody. So if you want one of them go get one. Also I point out that these people are citizens so what are you mad about exactly?
And that's the problem with the articles posted on Lemmy, the plan quoted (México te abraza) on the "news" is talking about the bribes/handouts that her party has implemented to keep people voting for them because she gives us free money, so she says that will give the deported people a security net if they are deported... which is fucking bullshit.
The rest about the jobs created... I don't doubt they had open those jobs, the question is if they are actually open for the public or just more nepotism, specially if you look at the list of the companies (FEMSA, Walmart, Grupo Carso, Coppel, Lala, Bayer, Grupo Bimbo, and CEMEX), you immediatly should know they are going to be explotative af unless you got lucky or someone inside who can put you in a decent place.
Oh I'm mad because you decided to ignore the rest of the comment, she and her party have drove away investment and forced small/medium business to close due to the violence that goes unpunished, the total ammount of available jobs hasn't really recovered since her boss was the president, but the informal work has rosen up like crazy (specially because the IMSS [the free healthcare thing] is lacking medicine, inputs and vaccines, so it doesn't matter if you manage to get in, there's nothing they can do unless you pay for things yourself or go somewhere else; so people preffer to go informmal and not pay taxes because it doesn't help them anyway).
I'm mad because just openning jobs isn't enough, if I'm going to pay half my paycheck (or more) in dressing up and trasportation alone and the rest is going to be precariously managed to last for a month, then I might as well just join OF or something that actually gives me money to be happy (which is actually my situation right now, I've been seriously considering openning an OF or just killing myself).
Me and the very few people that care are mad, not because the deported ones might get a mediocre job to stay alive (if anything I'm worried about them because most ran away due to the violence or because it was either they leave or they starve), we are mad because why wait until now? Why not try and fix things for everyone before? Why try to point out so much that she cares about the deported citizens? Why not actually do things that benefit their own citizens that (for whatever reason) can't move (legally or illegally) to the USA? That way it wouldn't matter if people got deported as they would actually have a REAL safety net back here.
While I appreciate the sentiment and perhaps you’re right about meaningless populism… but from up here it really looks like she wants to take advantage of our bout of insanity to goose your economy, to reduce the reasons for people leaving in the first place, to build a more independent local economy in place of the more precarious global one.
Think of all the insane drivel drooling out the side of the mouth of mango Mussolini - somehow his strategy is “1. Wreck it; 2. ???; 3. Profit”, whereas this looks like “build it and they will come”.
