But one man has voice has summed up what possibly all Mexicans think about the proposals: "crazy".

Former Mexican President Felipe Calderon, speaking in an interview with CNBC, said: “Mexican people, we are not going to pay any single cent for such a stupid wall! And it's going to be completely useless.” As for Mr Trump himself, Mr Calderon said he is not a "very well-informed man".
