Strangers at home, Salvadoran deportees welcomed at call centers

Reuters reports:
Alexander Ramos was deported to El Salvador from the United States seven years ago, forced to leave jobs as a gardener and at McDonald’s after getting caught driving without a license.


Back in his native San Salvador, the 31-year-old brushed up on his English and landed a job at one of the nation’s 70 call centers.

The industry, which employs 47 percent more people than two years ago based on government data, is now eyeing a growth spurt after the Trump administration said it would end immigration protection for more than 200,000 Salvadorans.
