He said that the closure of the railroad crossing occurred so that thousands of migrants would no longer be transported on the Mexican side, however, they still continue to arrive by the thousands.
“This measure that was taken to close the railroad will have a negative impact on the economy of the United States and Mexico, due to the daily trade in merchandise, lost in millions of dollars,” he commented.
He said that the problem is extremely major, since it is impacting the economy of both borders.
He noted that this migration crisis is the first time it has been recorded on this border.
