The Department of Labor of the State of Baja California trained employers in order to educate them to massively register foreign citizens with the Mexican IRS.

Secretary of Labor Alejandro Arregui said this is the first training course held.

The state official said one of the main obstacles to hiring immigrants is the lack of tax registration. The issue can be solved through massive registration.

Mexican Tax Administration System staff took part in the training.

According to the Secretary the state has held several job fairs that have led to the hiring of about 400 immigrants.

Over 350 employers took part in the training course.
