One of Texas’ biggest political donors could become ambassador to Mexico, the New York Post reports.

Toby Neugebauer, a 45-year-old billionaire and the son of U.S. Rep. Randy Neugebauer, R-Lubbock, is reportedly under consideration for a diplomatic post that carries extra importance after President-elect Donald Trump began his campaign by referring to some Mexicans as “rapists” and criminals and repeatedly calling for a wall to be built on the U.S.-Mexico border.

“I've not heard his name being brought up for that position, but admittedly on that one, I haven't discussed that ambassadorship with the - with the team that's working on all those,” Trump spokesman Jason Miller said of Neugebauer in a call with reporters on Monday.

Neugebauer told the Post that he understands border security and wants to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

“If I am asked to do it, I would view it as an act of service,” Neugebauer said to the Post.

Beyond the border, Trump has expressed derision at the North American Free Trade Agreement, a trade pact between Canada, Mexico and the U.S.
