The Mexican government has launched a new Web site tracking the hometowns of millions of Mexicans residing in the U.S., the Foreign Relations Department said Saturday.

The site, which features maps of both countries, shows how Mexican migrants tend to settle in U.S. cities where residents from their home state or town have gone before them, the Foreign Secretary said in a news release.

The department said the information, gathered by Mexican consulates in the U.S., will help people to better understand Mexican migration.

According to the site, Omaha, Nebraska, has become the key destination for Mexicans hailing from the steamy southern state of Campeche, while Atlanta has drawn residents from the cactus-studded central state of Hidalgo.

San Francisco is home primarily to migrants from the Yucatan, while residents from the swampy Gulf coast state of Tabasco tend to move to Raleigh, North Carolina, according to the site.
Migrants usually follow relatives and friends, who often find them jobs even before they sneak across the U.S. border.
In many U.S. cities, Mexican migrant communities have formed clubs to collect money to send back to their hometowns to fund festivals, build schools or open medical clinics. Some migrants in the U.S. also have formed soccer teams representing their Mexican hometowns that play against other migrants from villages from their same Mexican state.

Part of the solution to our problem and theirs is going to come when the Mexican hometown affiliated groups get all the immigrants they can to put money into income creation. If their membership whch includes legals as well as illegals were to start funding income creation projects back where they came from there would be less of a temptation to come up here. A group which already at work on this is Heifer International.

And I am sure the Mexican goverment is making sure they all have maps and directions so that they make it safely to where the other Illegals are residing telling each one there is power in numbers.....Please stick together!


OUTRAGEOUS!

INFORMATION SYSTEM ORIGEN-DESTINO OF MEXICAN COMMUNITIES

The Secretariat of Outer Relations, by conduit of the Institute of the Mexicans in the Outside, makes available of the public in general the possibility of consulting the data base that contains the Consular Matriculations of High sent Security during the 2006, to effect to know the state origin, the sort and the levels of schooling of the established Mexican communities in that country.

The base contains the registry, by consular circumscription, of the connacionales that obtained the Consular Matriculation between the 1 of January and the 31 of October of the 2006. The confidentiality of the information is safeguard when not including specific names nor addresses. Searches by state of origin, sort and levels of schooling can be done.

The information has been compiled and processed by the Main directorate of Protection and Consular Subjects and the Main directorate of Telecommunications and Computer science, of the Chancellery.

What is the Consular Matriculation of High Security?

The Mexican Consular Matriculation is an official document emitted by the Government of Mexico to register to its citizens in the outside. It is an exclusive document for Mexican; it is valid to return to Mexico; and it is not valid to travel to other countries or for the accomplishment of migratory proceedings.

To be a document of high trustworthiness and security, the Matriculation is accepted by numerous offices of state governments and departments of police; in order to open banking accounts and to register in public libraries; and in some states, to transact the driver's license. The use of the consular Matriculation triggers a series of positive financial transactions and allows the access to an endless number of proceedings of the daily life.

Destinies by origin state

In order to know the places destiny (by consular circumscription) of the carriers of Consular Matriculations of High Security according to his state of origin, single it must press on the federal organization of his interest.

Ice should use this to find were the illegals are and deport them.

we could use this to our advantage. Simply find a major city in Mexico that sends people to your area, do research on it and begin sending mail to them in Spanish warning of crossing the border illegally.

In fact i think I will be doing that. I will use some of my contacts to get address information for the area that sends them to Dallas and see how it works.

This new online feature is different it shows where the people are applying for their matricula consular cards and where the people who apply for them are from and then it goes about corelating them to show concentrations in the US from
particular states in Mexico.
Like I said that should become useful for matching their many hometown associations with their various hometown farmer's cooperatives. Instead of their blowing away their income on consumption they could revive their economies with programs like Heifer.
