McALLEN, Texas (AP) — The foreign minister of Honduras said Tuesday on a visit to the Texas-Mexico border that she was pleased to see the flow of unaccompanied child immigrants has slowed after efforts in her country to dissuade citizens from embarking on the dangerous journey to the United States.

There is no clear explanation for the drop, which could be attributed to a number of factors including seasonal variation, increased border enforcement and an international messaging campaign, but the number of unaccompanied children arrested in July was about half of those in the previous two months.
