Mexican Deportees and Outsourced Labor

Subscribe to VICE News here: bit.ly/Subscrib...
Tijuana, Mexico, is a limbo for deportees from the United States. People keep showing up in the city while U.S. immigration policies get tougher. Between 2002 and 2012, deportations to Mexico more than doubled, from 122,058 to 306,870, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Many were deported for non-violent or relatively minor infractions.
In many cases, these deportees are returned to a country where they might have been born but know little about as adults. They might speak little or no Spanish, and are further seen as pariahs for sporting gang tattoos. Opportunities for work in Tijuana remain limited for such deportees, except in a sector that is enjoying a boom period in Mexico, telemarketing.
Call centers offer English-speaking deportees a chance to have a steady income in jobs-strapped Mexico. They also get to put their language skills to use. Telemarketers gain a geographically close work-force of English native-speakers, but at Mexican labor costs. VICE News traveled to Tijuana to meet a few of the thousands of deportees who were raised in the United States and are now forming new lives back in Mexico, thanks to their steady jobs at a U.S. call center.

You know this video really caught my attention I was deported to Guatemala in 2011. I been here ever since and have been working in call center for almost 8 years now. There's about 30 call centers, won't mention any names, but honestly the call centers have saved our lives and kept us with a stable. Unfortunately, the friends that I had in the past some have past away or been killed in this city. I don't have any intentions of going back to the USA. I have a stable job and plus have a car part business on the side. Just wish my friends wouldn't have gotten killed pretty messes up. Guatemala is a whole different country and wish you seened what I witnessed while living out here. Blessings to our neighbors (Mexico). Same situation, different country. Blessings!

And i feel you guys its hard to start over, its even harder for the ones that grew up there, maybe one day i could be hired in a call center, greetings from puebla, saludos compas no hay de otra que pa'adelante

[@brian6611]

Why can't we have a law banning foreign call centers from calling into the US thats a lot of jobs.

[@mazing32able]

White ppl wont do the job.

Being deported has reformed these criminals more than any prison ever could

[@ronjeremy992]

You didn't get sent back for singing loudest in the choir.... 😒😒😒😒😒

[@TerryReedMiss]

No, but could have been something as small as a traffic ticket. AFTER the man had served in the military with honors. What kind of twofaced country have we become????

[@soulsurfer639]

@@TerryReedMiss Terry, this guy is a Sureño (aka. cut-throat gang member that runs the penal system in California). You should educate yourself on things before making statements, just some advice

What do u think about your uncle bro? Are u down with him or with the USA law to report him?

[@jrf7204]

Carlos Lara he's family, so yeah i'm down with him

[@carloslara2375]

The way I see it bro its gods world not these motherfukers trying to run it but this sons of bitches got the power and we can't do shit I was deported and it was a blessing from god cause I came back to where the money is the USA and we gotta stack this money while we can man tell your uncle to start stacking his money to build a house wherever he is from to send a car and to just send what he wants cause sooner or later they will get us and its just gonna get harder at the border

[@jrf7204]

Carlos Lara yeah man i understand what you mean, mexicans have earned a bad reputation because of the cartels who smuggle drugs and other stupid shit but it is not like that, the majority are only here for a better life, job opportunities, and also for their kids to have a chance at an education. but yeah many of my family members, including my parents, have already begun to build their homes in the pueblo they grew up in

[@richardthayer5907]

500 I'll say it again FIVE HUNDRED Mexican gangs in Los Angeles and that's not counting Chicago and the thousands of deaths because of Crack...also drug lords are now taking over the Oil trade by stealing Oil at the border...if you want to really attack greed report the real bad guys at street level.

That’s fucked up that a US marine got deported! Thank you for your service ❤

[@MiPiKeTe392]

dude...i can feel these dudes pain it realy sux i left the US voluntarily in 2010 i lived in Jalisco and now I live in Tijuana. My mom took me to the United States when i was only 8 months old and i grew up in California in the San Bernardino county i turned 22 years old when i was arrested for spousal battery. (Allgedly) the girl i was with at the time said i had hit her when i never touched her. She even went in to jail to visit me crying saying she was sorry. i havent talked to her since and now im married ive been married for 3 years now and im working on getting my visa and getting back into the states THE LEGAL WAY i have waited patiently for 4 years going on 5 now all my family is in california I dont belong out here in mexico there is nothing for me here. I pray that i can go back soon i just wanna go back and work and take care of my wife and kids

[@jesussandoval9843]

Good luck homie, I’m in the states right now and I hope to only ever go to Mexico as a tourist and not as a deportee. I hope you get the life you want 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@robertgaylord314]

Enforcing immigration laws is not a political process.

[@CongreDelNido]

Excellent video! I was also deported 9 yrs ago and I dont have a need to go back, I have everything I need here in Mexico... If you get your mind right, you can make it... The U.S. is a great country, but they have their own problems too...

[@paisan7179]

You were deported? Great news for Americans that our laws are working.

[@CongreDelNido]

Yeah, they actually do work, I dont know if you're being sarcastic or not but many still manage to go back ilegally and continue to live their life feeding off your taxes... I choose not too, life can be good here in Mexico too, especially if your trust is in Christ.

[@paisan7179]

Take it as you want Sr. Martinez but you are one of the few that still believes that life can be good in Mexico all thanks to the almighty American dollar. If your trust would have initially been in Christ you wouldn't have coveted thy neighbors goods (America) gotten caught and deported. Still I'm happy that at least one Mexican can admit his error and remain in his rightful place. Best of luck to you and your family.

[@CongreDelNido]

Paisan I was a child taken to the U.S. by my parents at a very early age, I didnt have a choice in the matter. I was then soon involved in gangs which took me to prison (which is something that has no respect of persons legal or illegal) and eventually got me deported. The "if I would've's" in life do not matter any more, I'm just glad I didnt die in the streets of Los Angeles and that I got a second chance in life. I actually feel safer here in Mexico than I did in the United states, I'm just here to encourage others that can relate to my story that the U.S. is not the only place where dreams can come true, neither is the dollar the "almighty" as you call it. why? because there are people that are filthy rich, yet they are as unhappy as they can be... America is a great country, but believe me, there are people here in Mexico that are also very rich, and it doesnt buy them happiness. I do appreciate your good wishes.

[@paisan7179]

***** Hey Charlie I guess without even knowing you at all my comments are s little harsh. But you know what you come across as a very positive individual. I really wish sometimes that circumstances weren't as they are towards people. Thanks for your response and most of all for not swearing. Are there any of you coming back and applying for citizenship? Good luck Charlie I really mean that.

[@georgeuriostegui7503]

I was asked to leave voluntary California to be granted a visa to re enter legally and after 4 years and nothing.. And I don't have a criminal record.. Does that make me a criminal for entering a country illegally against my will but consider the US my home since I lived there over 25 years..?.. Now what I'm going thru is politics.. Even when I paid my taxes like an American citizen n never asked for government help...

[@Andy-im3kj]

The average citizen here won't see anything but their diluted 'reality'.

[@charlesmonroe191]

yes

[@lazaromendoza6795]

Jorge Uriostegui no it dosent make you a criminal criminals are alot of people that are in the us that dont work get into trouble dont pay taxes n yet get all the help from the goverment those people should get thrown out legal or illegal

[@rickdougherty8058]

If you entered illegally it,s illegal,you do or don,t there's no in between ,if you entered illegal you broke the law ,and should be deported , just like if anyone entered any other country,but other country,s will give you jail time or worse , so consider your self lucky that's all that happen , because the U.S laws are weak compared to other country,s

[@rickdougherty8058]

Does not matter if you paid taxes still does not give you any rights , you are illegal and entered illegal , you broke the ,that's what they all think ,they enter illegal get a job and pay taxes because all employer take taxes out , now they think they have rights like a citizen , but you do not you broke the law and are illegal

[@garbinator09]

Life can be tough aye? As a senior citizen I can fill all of youtube regards my miss treatment injustice too. But guess what folks, learn to play or be prepared to pay. Just because a person is or has been in a military service does not guarantee a special ride through life. BULLSHIT they are deported over a ticket! Todays communities do NOT have funding to tie up limited police officers, limited admin to process immigration holds. If they do, its usually involving felonies. Think Budget people. There is a process for entering the country period. I would like to see video on what are the people of Mexico doing to make their own country a wonderful place to be. I am tired of assuming all of the displaced people's burdens to America. This is exactly why American voters voted in Trump. Every Nation has laws regarding obtaining citizenship. Why should America be any different?
