Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has launched a comprehensive housing initiative to address the country's housing deficit by building a million homes and offering zero-interest mortgages.

The program, aimed at supporting vulnerable groups, focuses on female-led households, young people, Indigenous communities and senior citizens. The announcement is a fulfillment of Sheinbaum's campaign promise to create affordable housing and promote equitable urban development.

Looks like the housing market is going to be better there at least, so you've got that going for you! Hell, maybe they're anticipating an incoming deportation crisis and that's why they're building.

On a more serious note, I do hope nobody will forcefully deport you and that you get to keep on living in the country where you always have and probably plan on continuing to live in. My country suffered through two mass deportation events several decades before I was born and this is STILL affecting families. I don't wish for anyone else to have to go through this.
