MEXICO CITY/CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico - Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has promised thousands of jobs to migrants waiting on the northern border for U.S. asylum, but some employers are refusing to hire them unless the government screens for potential criminals.
Many asylum claimants are Central American nationals fleeing violence and poverty in their respective countries of origin, often at the hands of criminal groups like Mara Salvatrucha, known as MS-13. Many Mexican firms are certified by the Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which requires companies to only employ individuals whose backgrounds have been verified, said Hernandez.
The factories, which import raw materials from the United States and ship assembled products back across the border duty free, exported billions worth of goods last year. “It’s so illogical to think that people asking for asylum have criminal records, since they know they’ll face double scrutiny” in the United States and Mexico, he said.
