WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama will meet with the leaders of Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador next week to discuss cooperation on the influx of child migrants from Central America into the United States, senior administration officials said on Friday.
The meeting comes as the number of unaccompanied minors crossing the border into the Rio Grande Valley in Texas has begun to drop off, the officials said, seeking a victory in a crisis that has largely consumed the White House and the Obama administration in recent weeks.
In June roughly 2,000 children were crossing the border on a weekly basis, one official told reporters on a conference call. By the second week in July those numbers had dropped below 1,000 and were continuing in that direction, he said.
"We think that this is an important trend," the official said.
The officials tied the drop to a number of factors, including U.S. information campaigns about the dangers of the journey for the children and clear policy statements that coming to the United States would not give the migrants a pathway to citizenship.
The officials said weather-related declines were also a factor. Traditionally fewer border crossings occur in the hotter summer months.

Somebody in the White Hut must have put the kibosh on this plan since it wasn’t working out quite like they had planned.
Obama needs more Illegals ?
Don’t meet them. ARREST THEM DAMN IT! These countries are invading Texas with disease warfare!
Obama needs to speak to them about why migrant numbers are falling. He will get on this right now!
“America’s door is open, come on in”
“”The meeting comes as the number of unaccompanied minors crossing the border into the Rio Grande Valley in Texas has begun to drop off,””
BEGUN TO DROP OFF? Got to keep the flow going! Gosh, I really hate cynics but what else are we supposed to think? Can’t put anything past this guy, can we? He’s really on the ball. Wish he’d take Harry Truman’s advice about “heat and the kitchen.”
Will Cloward and Piven be there?
Damage control. Needs a photo-op to make it look like he is doing something. He is turning off the green light and giving them the yellow caution light. Keep them coming but slow down the numbers.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
LOLOL! That's funny stuff right there!
I imagine Barry is going to demand that these governments provide plane tickets to the illegal invaders to fly into Texas rather than have them risk their lives riding on top of that train on their 1800 mile cross country trip to the Land of the Grande Pinata.
Bull! Rueters lies!
Total number of illegal aliens in US stays at 11 million for 15th year in a row.
And we are supposed to believe this because?
The master at PsyOps (Psychological Operations) was Goebbels. He did say over and over again: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.” He would also say that “the lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

They must have borrowed the unemployment numbers special sauce for this.
