The Mexican Government is offering a package of benefits and
incentives to the Central American Caravan, on condition that its people say
put in the South of the Country, and march no further.

The offer entitled: "Estas en tu casa...translated as:
"You`re at home," has been made by Mexican President Enrique Pena
Nieto and concerns one thousand seven hundred Central Americans from the
Caravan who`s already applied for refugee status. It includes temporary ID
Cards plus work permits, housing in hostels, medical attention and schooling
for the children with them. But in return they MUST stay within the Southern
States of Chiapas and Oaxaca.
President Pena Nieto says: "Today, Mexico extends its
hand. This is only applicable for those who comply with Mexican laws. It`s a
first step towards a permanent solution to those who are granted refugee
status." The offer has already been rejected by more than two thousand of
the migrants who after a vote via a show of hands, are vowing to press on, even
though the nearest US territory is still more than 1,600 kms away.
