Mexico’s top diplomat on Thursday said he expects a “constant and growing” stream of migrants in the coming year to flow across his country toward the United States from the so-called northern triangle countries: Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador.

Foreign Secretary Marcelo Ebrard estimated that the United States would need to donate $2 billion a year to help stabilize the three impoverished nations in an attempt to eliminate the circumstances causing people to flee.
