Mexico Offers Nationals Land to Come Home
San Antonio April 18. Ramon Beteta, Mexico Undersecretary of State, outlined a repatriation plan enabling thousands of Mexicans in the United States to return with all possessions paid by the Mexican government. Returning families would settle in agricultural colonies in Tamaulipas, Mexicali, and Sinaloa with free land up to 20 acres irrigated or 50 acres unirrigated. Bank loans via the National Bank of Agriculture would aid from arrival to first harvest. No deadline exists, and petitions can be filed anytime. The number of returnees depends on economic conditions and colony early success.
