OverviewAPI
The surge of migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border has resulted in the closure of major railroad crossings, leading to a halt of nearly half a billion dollars in trade. Major railroad operators Union Pacific and BNSF, subsidiaries of Berkshire Hathaway, dispute government figures on migrants found on trains and warn of overcrowding at their other gateways. The closure has impacted 45% of Union Pacific's cross-border business and raised concerns from various industries and organizations.
