Scroll down for video A group of students at a western North Carolina high school built a wall made of boxes and blocked access to a common area, and their Latino classmates are upset Donald Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee for president, has promised to build a wall along the US-Mexico border if he gets elected Principal Edwin Spivey says one of the kids wanted to put a Donald Trump logo on it and was told he couldn't do that. The wall was taken down before classes began on Thursday. Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, has promised to build a wall along the US-Mexico border if he gets elected. He said in a June 2015 speech announcing his candidacy: 'I would build a great wall, and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me, and I'll build them very inexpensively, I will build a great, great wall on our southern border. And I will have Mexico pay for that wall.' At the time, he also said: 'When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. 'They're not sending you. They're not sending you. 'They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. 'They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.' Trump pledges to build a wall along US Mexico border in 2015 A school district spokesman says the students won't face any disciplinary action. Brian Oliver told WLOS: 'There was no offensive activity at the time. 'What became offensive or concerning was what took place on social media afterwards' Spivey had a meeting with and said he was sorry to Marta Guardian and Johnny Campos, the two students told WLOS. Guardian told the TV station: 'I'm proud of where I'm from. 'I'm proud to be a Mexican-American because I was born here. 'I was taught here. I learned about American culture, but I never left my roots. 'Some kids are left alone here because their parents are illegal, and their kids are left here because they are legal and their parents get deported. 'They separate families. That is not OK.' Campos said in a statement to the TV station: 'I am the president of the Hispanic Youth Club. 'After this incident was brought to my attention, I asked to meet with our principal, Mr. Spivey. 'It was a very productive meeting and I believe Mr. Spivey will handle this in a way that helps everyone begin to repair relationships. 'McDowell High School is a great place, and I want the Class of 2016 to be known for building bridges for a better tomorrow - not judged by the insensitive actions of a few people.' 'There was no offensive activity at the time. 'What became offensive or concerning was what took place on social media afterwards. 'So, it's hard for the school to have control or to take action against something that happened on social media that was outside school hours and outside any school network.'

I heard a story once a while back. These Mexican farm hands were working in the fields and an immigration helicopter flew over head. A bunch of the Mexicans started to run. This one kid started to run with them. His father said to him, "What are you running for? You were born here." LOL
