An AI-generated video from the US embassy in Mexico encouraging migrants to “self-deport” has sparked disbelief and outrage online.
The video posted this week on official embassy social media accounts depicts a group of men wearing black caps and sporting tattoos performing a kind of traditional Mexican ballad known as a corrido.
“The corrido rings out loud in your homeland; return to your roots,” the AI performer sings. “You don’t need to go far to get ahead. Listen to what you say: Mexican power lies within you.”
The social media post also contains a link to CBP Home, a website that helps migrants in the US to return to their home countries.
The video made headlines across Mexican news outlets, and met with condemnation on social media.
