Internet user @angel_alcant also shared a poem to his deceased loved ones that he was never able to see again, since it took him more than two decades to return from the United States to Mexico.

“Oh, grandparents! If I only had the opportunity to see them again, I would hug them with all my might and tell them how much I love them, perhaps as I never did, I would turn off my phone and stay for hours listening to their stories, I would ask them more about them, about who they were.”

It is worth mentioning that while he was walking through the house, two minors could be seen by his side, they would appear to be his children, as he jokingly mentioned to them “This is where we are going to sleep.”

One of the reasons why many Mexican men and women do not return to their country after living in the United States is that they support their family with their jobs, sending money through remittances.

Remittances sent to Mexico had an annual growth of 15.2% from January to August 2022. 99.0% of income was made through electronic transfers, which is equivalent to about 37 thousand 552 million dollars, the Bank of Mexico reported at the time. (Banxico).

“We are about to end the year and we are very close to the 60 billion dollars sent by our countrymen to their families. They have behaved up to the task because how sad that they had to leave because there were no options, there were no job opportunities and in some cases, due to violence,” said President Andrés Manuel López Obrador at the end of 2022.
