Central American Caravan Moves On In Spite of Mexico Jobs Offer

According to Reuters, a U.S.-bound caravan of Central American migrants pressed on through southern Mexico on Saturday, in spite of government offers of jobs. Mexican police in riot gear briefly blocked the march of men, women and children as they neared Oaxaca state for those seeking asylum in Mexico. According to Mexico's government, more than 1,700 people in the convoy have applied for asylum, while others have returned home.
