Diego Reyna said he had a special message for Mr Trump (Facebook)

The message was very clear: not all Mexicans are criminals and Donald Trump needs to acknowledge that.

Construction worker Diego Reyna, a Mexican-Canadian, made a personal appeal to the New York tycoon when he ascended the soon-to-be completed Trump Tower in Vancouver and hung a Mexican flag. He posed for a photograph in front of the banner and posted it on Facebook.

“Because from the concrete pouring, finishing, drywall, taping, wood forming and general labour, Mexicans were there, building it, doing good work. The comments Trump has made about us did not stop us from doing the high quality work we have always done, in our home country or when we migrate to the US or Canada.”

...Mr Reyna was born in Chiapas, Mexico, and last year became a Canadian citizen. He does not work on the site of the Trump Tower but said he had several Mexican and Muslim friends who did, and that they had been offended by many of the tycoon’s comments.
