A construction worker hung a Mexican flag atop a Trump hotel this weekend

When construction worker Diego Saul Reyna finished up construction on Trump International Hotel in Vancouver, he decided to add one last finishing touch: A Mexican flag. He posted a photo of the flag atop the building on Facebook Saturday, explaining that he couldn't help but put it up "because from the concrete pouring, finishing, drywall, taping, wood forming, and general labor, Mexicans were there, building it, doing good work."

Though Trump has repeatedly made controversial comments about immigrants — calling Mexicans "rapists" and criminals and proposing to build a wall to keep them out — Reyna says that these remarks didn't stop him or the other Mexican workers from doing their job. "The comments Trump has made about us did not stop us from doing the high quality work we have always done, in our home country or when we migrate to the US/Canada," Reyna wrote.

The flag has since been removed from the hotel. The Trump organization did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment.
