When outspoken real estate magnate turned presidential hopeful Donald Trump spoke about Mexicans bringing drugs, crime and rapists to the Unites States, he might not have realized how unifying a figure he would become.

The outrage in Mexico has been across the board, shared by the rich and poor citizens alike.

A saleslady named Rita Hernández explained to the Guardian that “If you offend us we come together, and what he said was very offensive.”

“We have a lot of problems in our country and they hurt us a lot, but the migrants who go to the U.S. are hardworking people looking for a way to support their families, and when American tourists come here we treat them with warmth,” she added.

Arturo Palomino, an irate peddler of pirated DVDs, said, “If I had Donald Trump in front of me, I would call him a racist imbecile.

“He thinks that because he has money he can say anything he likes.”

It is not just the working poor in Mexico that are moved to anger over Trump’s words. While accepting an award in Los Angeles, actor and filmmaker Eugenio Derbez publically addressed Trump’s negative comments, saying, “You are wrong, Mr Trump. We are honest and hardworking people.”

“We are also waiters and cooks in all the restaurants of the United States. So take care the next time you eat at a restaurant, because it is possible that you might have to eat your words … and something else,” said Derbez.

In the U.S., Latinos have come together to call for boycotts that actually seemed to have succeeded in getting Trump fired from NBC.

In an opinion piece published in the Huffington Post former “Ugly Betty” actress America Ferrera thanked Trump for bringing Latinos together, writing that: “No, Mr. Trump, you may not reduce us to drug dealers and rapists. We are moms and dads, sons and daughters. We are valedictorians and honor students. We are college graduates, bankers, police officers, entertainers, teachers, journalists, politicians and we are the future of America.”
