So the weather is breaking good for the good guys. Any word of exactly where the invading horde is?

The governor of the Mexican state of Veracruz, Miguel Angel Yunes, said on Friday buses would be provided to carry migrants to the nation’s capital.

However, Mr Yunes cancelled the offer just hours later, blaming a water shortage in the city for his decision.

In a video posted to Twitter on Friday, Mr Yunes said that a “serious shortage of water” in Mexico City over the weekend meant that it would be wrong to transport the migrants there.

“The shortage will affect more than seven million people,” he said, adding that his initial offer of supplying buses would have made the situation worse.

“I would like to ask the migrants, while the problems get solved and we wait for an in-depth solution to this issue, that they accept an invitation to go to a city of Veracruz further to the south, to a bigger city where they will have adequate installations to provide them with safety.”

Responding to Mr Yunes in an open letter, the migrants said the governor’s decision to withdraw his offer to help transport people hundreds of kilometres was unacceptable.
