...To a Mexican and citizen of the world, these statements are disgraceful and highly offensive. Trump has said Mexicans are the problem, calling us rapists and criminals. He thinks building the “Trump Wall” will right every wrong in the United States. Indeed, he’s built a huge mental wall around himself already, which doesn’t allow him to see the greatness of our people.
... He says that he’ll make America great again, but I believe he’s only making it worse. America is already great, largely thanks to the hard work and perseverance of immigrants from all over the world who made it their home. Did you know that 40% of the Fortune 500 companies in the United States have been founded by immigrants?
Trump is surely a false prophet who will guide the great nation of the United States to the bottom of the ocean, all the way through the shores of ignorance, racism, hunger and despair.
At the end of the day, it won’t be Mexico or the rest of the world that will struggle because of the wall or the new policies that Trump is suggesting. It will be the United States and his own people who will pay the price for Trump’s egocentric and xenophobic dreams.

Interesting though that Fox writes this shortly after Trump recently revealed the details of how Trump would force Mexico to build the wall, and that Fox does not address those details.
