Explanation:

The purpose of the underlined phrase in the excerpt is to show that the consequences of violence in Honduras and drug demand in the US are continuous.

The underlined phrase "this flow of children" is actually passing the message that the result of those things that are stated are actually continuous and needed to be stopped. "Flow" means it is pouring continuously. "Flow of children" will mean "the continuous results" - i.e what the violence and illegal drugs continuously result to.

Therefore, the above sentence simply means that to permanently stop the continuous result of what these things are producing, their root cause must be dealt with.
