Here's an article from the Washington Post, wherein two former presidents of Mexico, Felipe Calderon and Vicente Fox have made disparaging comments about Presidential candidate Donald Trump, over his claims of building a wall at the U.S./Mexico border, among other things. Apparently Vicente Fox lost his temper enough to actually use the F word during his interview.
What I find interesting is in the claims of xenophobia and racism, neither of the former presidents to Mexico has discussed how Mexico manages its southern border. They like to claim that Americans who are against mass, uncontrolled immigration are racist and xenophobic, but fail to explain why if controlling the borders of a sovereign nation is so bad, Mexico not only does the same, but is actually more stringent about securing its borders and preventing illegal immigrants from entering, staying, obtaining welfare or employment, voting, etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNY6D-ao6nI
