MEXICO CITY, March 21 (Reuters) - Mexico signed an

agreement with Venezuela to deport migrants, Foreign Minister

Alicia Barcena said on Thursday at a press conference, in the

midst of concerns over large migration flows towards the United

States.

Mexico also reached deals with Mexican and Venezuelan

companies to employ the returned migrants, she said.

The Mexican government will give around $110 a month to

migrants in the country, as part of a program where they will

also have the opportunity to work for different companies in

both countries.

Venezuelan brewers Empresas Polar and state oil firm

PDVSA, alongside Mexican breadmaker Bimbo and

retailer FEMSA are among the companies

participating in the program, according to Barcena.
