At least some Mexican citizens waking up this morning to news of a Trump visit are not happy. Many have taken to various media outlets to express their "disappointment" that Trump has been invited to meet with Mexico's President, Enrique Pena Nieto. Apparently some people south of the border are not happy being referred to as "rapists" and "drug-traffickers."
Twitter is abuzz with Mexican citizens distributing flyers for an anti-Trump protest to be held at 11AM at Angel de la Independencia (the Angel of Independence Monument) in downtown Mexico City. But apparently protesters are just as unhappy with Nieto, with signs saying "Out With Trump. Out With Pena Nieto."

Vicente Fox also took to Twitter and CNN to express his outrage over the Trump visit. Fox made headlines earlier this year when he told CNN in a live interview that he's "not going to pay for that fucking wall."
@realDonaldTrump, I invited you to come and apologize to all Mexicans. Stop lying! Mexico is not yours to play with, show some respect.

Vicente Fox told CNN that Trump "is not welcome to Mexico."

The secret service expressed some concerns surrounding the security of the last minute trip. Which is not terribly surprising given the immediate responses online and that silly little threat posted to Twitter by El Chapo last summer. According to The Gateway Pundit, the tweet reads "If you keep pissing me off I’m going to make you eat your words you fucking blonde milk-shake"…well that's somewhat less than cordial.
All of this comes as Trump is set to deliver a "major" immigration speech tonight at 9pm EST in Arizona. The biggest question that voters will be looking to have answered is whether Trump will stand behind his previous promises to deport all 11 million undocumented immigrants in the United States or temper that stance in order to appeal to a broader swath of the American electorate. Trump's rhetoric on deportations has seemingly softened since Kellyanne Conway and Steve Bannon joined the campaign leaving Trump's base wondering where he currently stands. Viewers will also be looking to see whether Trump has shifted his view on building "the wall" and if/how he will attempt to reach out to Hispanic voters.
