Official Residence 

President Calderón received Elvira Arellano at the Official Los Pinos Residence today  

During the conversation, the Mexican President listened carefully to Mrs.  Arellano’s explanation of her current situation and her constant struggle to reunify migrant families.

The president offered Elvira Arellano all his sympathy regarding her compulsory separation from her son and offered her his support in this complex situation.
President Calderón ratified the priority his government places on the living conditions of Mexican migrants residing in the United States and repeated the need for an integral migratory reform in that country.

He also explained that his administration is working hard to create employment opportunities for Mexicans which, in the medium and long term, will enable a larger number of co-nationals to have opportunities for development in this country.
For her part, Mrs. Arellano asked the Mexican government to apply for a visa from the United States that will enable her to return to that country.

The Mexican president instructed Secretary of Foreign Affairs Ambassador Patricia Espinosa to order her department to undertake an analysis of the situation being faced by Mrs.  Arellano and her son and to take the necessary steps with the US authorities to be able to respond to this request.
