Thread: Mexico rewards US-educated illegals with English teacher jobs

Mexico hopes to cash in on the years of education collected by illegal immigrants when the Trump administration steps up its deportation of adults.

President Peña Nieto has signed several educational directives to ease Mexicans kicked out of the U.S. and into the country's educational system and one of the initiatives is to capitalize on those who have some mastery of English.

Explaining his efforts, the president suggested that schools will tap some deported to teach English.

In a newspaper column translated by the Center for Immigration Studies, he said, "The English language skills of those who return will be used to support the teaching of that language in our educational system."

It is one of several steps Mexico is eyeing to handle the thousands the Trump administration is expected to deport. When they return, most come back with no school documents and often little Spanish education, so Mexico plans to lower the hurdles for getting back into school or labor training programs.

"A special program will be implemented for children and young people who return and who do not speak Spanish. This program will be realized in 120 municipalities with the highest concentration of returnees. The objective is for children and adults to acquire a level of Spanish that allows them to re-enter the Mexican educational system," said CIS.

In his column, Nieto revealed that some 220,000 Mexicans were returned last year, and just over half had not completed basic education.
