The Mexican government is “doing its part” to help immigrants living in the U.S. apply for President Barack Obama’s executive action on immigration, consulate officials said.
Mexican citizens will now be able to obtain copies of their birth certificates at consulates across the U.S. and embassies around the world, said Sebastián Galván Duque, a spokesperson for the Mexican consulate in Tucson.
“The Mexican government wants to do its part to help Mexican citizens that can benefit from each of these measures,” by facilitating the access to documents that migrants may need to present when applying for temporary deportation relief, work permits or driver’s licenses, Galván Duque said.
Last week, a federal judge permanently blocked Arizona from denying driver’s licenses to recipients of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or Dreamers.
After more than two years of the ban, the young immigrants have begun applying for driver’s licenses.
