    Migrant caravan: Mexico offers temporary work permits

    3 hours ago BBC World

    Mexico has offered temporary work permits to migrants who register for asylum, as a big caravan of Central American migrants makes its way through the country toward the US.
    The plan also envisages temporary ID cards, medical care and schooling.
    But to qualify, migrants must remain in Mexico's southern Chiapas and Oaxaca states.
    The US has warned that about 800 troops may be sent to the US-Mexico border to stop the migrant caravan.
    "I am bringing out the military for this National Emergency," US President Donald Trump said earlier this week. "They [migrants] will be stopped!"
    ------------------------------------
    Sounds sensible assuming the 'asylum' tag offered is not
    on behalf of Trump administration.
    Cheers,
