DALLAS, TX - One of the United States' neighbors is developing an app intended for its citizens living in the country illegally.
Mexico is finalizing the development of the app in advance of President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration, according to the Associated Press. The software offers a feature in which its users can alert pre-selected contacts of what they believe to be their imminent arrest by federal authorities.
“In case you find yourself in a situation where detention is imminent, you push the alert button, and that sends a signal to the nearest consulate,” Mexican secretary of foreign affairs Juan Ramón de la Fuente said of the app's functions. The app's function in this regard is somewhat redundant- existing federal law mandates that law enforcement notify the national consulate of any illegal alien detained on immigration violations upon arrest.
Mexico appears to be preparing for President-elect Trump's plan to carry out mass deportations of illegal aliens in the United States. Estimates of the illegal alien population vary widely, with some estimates pinning as many as 20 million aliens living in the nation without authorization. Mexican nationals formerly made up an outright majority of the total illegal alien population, a cohort that has given way to increasing waves of illegal Venezuelan, Haitian, and Central American illegal migration.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has taken a testy stance with the incoming Trump administration at times, grudgingly stating her intent to recieve the country's deported citizens, while seeking to prevent Trump from enforcing federal immigration law. Vice President-elect JD Vance has predicted the federal government will prove capable of deporting roughly one million aliens every year, a grand total that would stand to only deport a portion of those living in the country illegally.
According to Federal Reserve statistics, The payment of remittances from the United States to Mexico totaled nearly $56 billion in 2022, a cash sum that has formed a valued source of revenue for the Mexican economy. Critics of illegal immigration have proposed affecting the departure of those in the country illegally by taxing remittances and implementing buffed e-Verify requirements.
