Governor Aristoteles Sandoval is urging tech firms in the United States that may be affected by new immigration restrictions on skilled foreign workers to consider Jalisco as an alternative. 

The Jalisco Attorney General’s Office (FGE) will create a special prosecutor’s office that will focus on cases of missing persons in the state.

In the town of San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, state and federal police are the objects of rage as citizens demonstrate over the imprisonment and alleged torture of a security guard, Antonio Luna, whom authorities have accused of killing his three young sons, ages 4, 8 and 11, in a January 14 late night shootout involving police. Authorities also allege that on the same occasion Luna tried to kill his wife. 

Governor Aristoteles Sandoval says Jalisco needs to look further afield than the United States to rid this state of its economic “dependency” on its northern neighbor. 

It’s no wonder Jalisco is so keen to grab a slice of the U.S. avocado market that neighbors Michoacan currently monopolizes.  Americans are loco for the fruit – especially when Super Bowl time comes around.
