REUTERS/Jose Luis GonzalezMEXICO CITY - The costs of spiking migration for a key Mexican border state due to a sharp downturn in U.S.-bound cargo trucks total nearly $1 billion over about two weeks, state officials said Tuesday, as authorities in both countries struggle with the latest surge.
Chihuahua's government is led by a governor who represents a center-right opposition political party. Earlier this month, some U.S.-bound cargo trains were also disrupted when a major Mexican freight rail operator temporarily suspended operations after migrants died or got hurt by jumping on the trains.
