AMLO’s proposal on the expansion of Sembrando Vida
Last Thursday, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador asked his United States counterpart, Joe Biden, to finance the Sembrando Vida program to extend it in southern Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras.
By participating in a virtual way in the Summit of Leaders for Climate, which is taking place in the United States, President López Obrador stated that with this reforestation program, the United States government can give temporary work visas and nationality to those who participate in the project.
“The proposal is that together we expand this program in southeastern Mexico and Central America to plant 3 billion additional trees and generate 1.2 million jobs.”
He pointed out that as a complementary proposal, the United States government could offer those who participate in this program, that after sowing their land for three consecutive years, they would have the possibility of obtaining a temporary work visa and after another three or four years, they could have up to US residency or dual nationality.
