MEXICO will offer escorted bus rides from its south to the US border for non-Mexican refugees who have received a US asylum appointment, the government announced on Saturday.

The National Immigration Institute said that the buses will leave from the southern cities of Villahermosa and Tapachula. 

It appeared to be an attempt to make applying for asylum appointments from southern Mexico more attractive to those who would otherwise push north to Mexico City or the border.
