Union Pacific warns border crossing closing due to migrant crisis hurts cross-border trade as Christmas nears
Fox News
Union Pacific is warning of a significant impact on cross-border trade if two key crossings remain closed due to the ongoing migrant crisis at the border.
"These locations represent 45% of cross-border Union Pacific business and include goods critical to the U.S. economy," the company said in a statement. "There isn’t enough capacity at our other four gateways to reroute them." Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.

"With Christmas and the New Year’s holidays just days away, Union Pacific is in close communication with multiple government agencies and our customers, urging that the crossings closed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection be reopened," the statement said.
