Mexico City, March 22 (RHC-TeleSur)-- Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto has approved a legal amendment to make it easier for Mexican migrants returning to the country to validate their studies.

Addressing Tuesday's event "Education Without Borders" at the National Palace of Mexico City, President Peña Nieto said the legislative reform aims to help the academic mobility of those returning to Mexico, no matter their migratory status or their documentation. He said the move: “Is seen as a needed step in the face of hostile policies by U.S. President Donald Trump.”

The decree, signed by Pena Nieto, modifies certain aspects of Mexico's General Education Law, in order to allow students to have studies abroad validate in Mexico or to return to education, even without the right ID or academic papers.

Pena Nieto said that Mexico would show "solidarity and trust" to students returning from abroad and announced that information outposts would be opened at border crossings to help migrants be aware of these new opportunities.

The president added a special program created for young Mexican people who return without speaking fluent Spanish.
