A Democratic congressman said Monday that Donald Trump's criticism of a Latino judge overseeing a lawsuit involving Trump University shows that the presumptive Republican nominee for president is a racist and the candidate should take his border wall and 'shove it up your ass.' Rep. Filemon Vela, who represents a district in southern Texas along the U.S.-Mexico border, said in an open letter that Trump's 'ignorant anti-immigrant opinions,' border wall rhetoric and continued attacks on a sitting federal judge 'are just plain despicable.'
'I will not presume to speak on behalf of every American of Mexican descent, for every undocumented worker born in Mexico who is contributing to our country every day or, for that matter, every decent citizen in Mexico,' Vela wrote.
'But, I am sure that many of these individuals would agree with me when I say: "Mr. Trump, you’re a racist and you can take your border wall and shove it up your ass".'
Vela said in his letter that Trump's position with respect to the millions of undocumented Mexican workers who live in the U.S. is 'hateful, dehumanizing and frankly shameful.'
'Why any modern-thinking person would ever believe that building a wall along the border of a neighboring country, which is both our ally and one of our largest trading partners, is frankly astounding and asinine,' Vela said.
