Mexico's foreign secretary says everyone should be worried about the kind of anti-immigration sentiment coming out of the United States now, because it shows a lack of respect for countries that are supposed to be allies.

"I think this kind of rhetoric and this kind of language is not only offensive or disparaging to Mexicans, I think it should be worrisome for anyone that believes that people have the same rights," Claudia Ruiz-Massieu told CBC News Network's Power & Politics.

"You should not use stereotypes or negative categories to talk about countries and peoples that are your friends, your allies — and should be accorded the same respect as anyone else."

Ruiz-Massieu made the comments in an interview with host Rosemary Barton. The secretary is visiting Canada as a part of the North American Leaders Summit, known as the Three Amigos summit, which she says offers an opportunity to counterbalance the negativity associated with Donald Trump's run for the U.S. presidency.
