With the song "Caminos de Michoacán" performed by a mariachi band, 52 senior citizens from the "Palomas Mensajeras" Program, belonging to the municipality of Arteaga in the same state, were reunited with their relatives, who due to lack of proper documentation have been unable to return to their homeland to see their relatives.
It was at the Fox Theater in downtown Redwood City, where daughters, sons, grandchildren, nieces, nephews and other family members tearfully welcomed those who have missed their loved ones for years in their search for new opportunities and a better future, mostly older mothers and fathers who have not seen their immigrant children for a long time.
It should be noted that the arrival of these 52 seniors was achieved through the government of Michoacán, the government of Mexico, the government of California, and with the support of the city of Redwood City, which a few years ago was known as "Little Michoacán".
