Jones is national director of Nuestra Belleza Mexico, which chooses its country's Miss Universe representative.
Following the first statements made by Donald Trump, where he openly showed his enmity with Mexico

Sorry Lupita Jones, though I’m not a fan of Donald Trump I don’t take exception to a word he said.

I demand that the cable TV companies remove all of the Spanish language channels from their lineup.
We fought a war with Mexico and they lost. They killed Americans. My people were oppressed by the Mexican government.
It’s time we got rid of any symbol, like language, of Mexico.

Good. Maybe her life won’t be snuffed out by a Mexican drug cartel.

They can take their flag with them. And they can send their poor, uneducated and drugs to Spain instead of the US.

She's putting pressure on the Trump organization so Miss Mexico has better odds of winning.
Mexican extortion. What a shock.

Jones has not said if Wendy Esparza, the 23-year-old journalist set to represent Mexico later this year, will be removed from the competition, but she would seriously considering doing so if she feels the beauty queen will be denigrated during the competition.Is she coming in legally?
No problem.
