Institute for Mexicans Abroad

[2] The Mexican diaspora to the United States""has become a economic resource for Mexico, as a result of the social and familial micro-networks that have allowed it to grow in a contravention of the U.S. Immigration and border control policies.

It allowed immigrants to apply for US residency, It eased travel between the United States and Mexico, especially for undocumented people.

It was meant to assist Mexican migrants entering the United States in getting due process from the U.S. government.

[3] Mexican officials have stated that their deliberations have been thoroughly thought out regarding both national and international policy, which in return, there have been organizations that help migrants, and the reason IME eventually came to be.

In these meetings, they were to mention education and the need for financial aid, for all, but more so based on the dreamers and the younger generations of Mexicans.

Then, they will also mention health, political and legal issues, culture and media, businesses, and the CC-IME that leave the post and are replaced with new members.

The IME invites Mexican professionals or community leaders living in the United States to Mexico D.F.

The goal is for the participants to make their contributions and state their thoughts about challenges involving Mexico and the diaspora.

[6] This program helps the IME create and expand relationships between Mexico, the consulate, and the migrant leaders.

The attempts to consolidate and construct connections and identity between Mexican communities in the United States and Mexico have different consequences for each country.

[9] The CC-IME is a "formal and institutionalized assembly of networks, with a fixed membership that is convened twice yearly and is divided into specialized committee.

These include concerns on policies, the diaspora, and managing how to gather resources in order to put into action the IME programs.

It was more-so the idea of being able to talk about such issues, stay connected, and in the run, possibly create political change; that the power they receive is to engage with communities outside of Mexico, and that this was exactly what was occurring.
