The Central American caravan advances despite the offer of employment in Mexico







ARRIAGA, Mexico (Reuters) - A caravan of Central American migrants headed for the United States marched through southern Mexico on Saturday, despite government job offers, as authorities stepped up efforts to disperse the convoy that has infuriated the country. American president, Donald Trump. 

Mexican police with riot gear briefly blocked the march of men, women and children as they approached the state of Oaxaca before dawn, to transmit the offer of temporary identification documents, jobs or education for those seeking asylum in Mexico.  

Trump has threatened to send troops to the United States border and cut aid to Central America to try to stop the group of several thousand people who left Honduras two weeks ago.  

Estimates vary significantly in group size, which has changed as some migrants return to their homes and newcomers join. At least 150 migrants traveling separately were arrested on Friday near the border with Guatemala, a Mexican official said. 

More than 1,700 people in the convoy have requested asylum, while others have returned to their homes, according to the government of Mexico. The Honduran ambassador said Friday that the group had officially 3,500 members. Other estimates are much higher.  

By Saturday, more than 100 Honduran migrants chose to seek refugee status and enter the temporary work program proposed by President Enrique Peña Nieto on Friday, the National Migration Institute of Mexico said. Many others rejected the offer. 

"We're going to the United States, because that's our dream," said 28-year-old Honduran Daniel Leonel Esteves at the head of a column of 50-person migrants meandering down a road to the hills. 

Others echoed their goal of crossing the border, rejecting Mexico's offer. 

"Our destiny is the United States," said migrant Francisco Ramírez.      

A police officer on a highway south of Oaxaca, where migrants headed north from the city of Arriaga in the state of Chiapas, said the authorities intended to continue presenting the asylum offer.

"We believe that it is very important that all people in the caravan know about these benefits, so that they stop putting their safety in danger when crossing these roads," said federal police commissioner Benjamin Grajeda. 

Trump and his Republican colleagues have tried to make the migrant caravan and immigration important issues before the Nov. 6 election, in which Republicans struggle to maintain control of Congress. 

Honduras said that 4,500 of its citizens who were trying to emigrate had returned to the country in recent days.
