Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro showed his solidarity with the Mexican people and lashed back at Donald Trump for his racist remarks made during a speech earlier this week.   

“I totally reject the statements of Donald Trump. Crook. Thief. How can you attack our brothers from Mexico, who have already been persecuted and exploited enough by your people,” Maduro said in a speech on national radio and television. 

Trump slandered Mexicans in a public speech Tuesday while announcing his bid for presidential candidate. He accused them of “bringing drugs, crime and rapists” to the U.S. and promised future voters that he would build a “great wall” along the border with Mexico and force the Mexican government to pay for it.    

Trump’s comments come in response to the what has been called a “migration crisis” in the U.S, which the United Nations has called a “humanitarian situation.” 

 In recent years, tens of thousands of people from Central America and Mexico have tried to enter the U.S. in search of better opportunities and, above all, safety. Most of the migrants, including children, have been forced to flee situations of daily violence, gang wars and perpetual poverty.
