A worker hangs a Trump piñata at a workshop in Reynosa, Mexico, on June 23, 2015, days after the real-estate mogul Donald Trump accused Mexico of sending criminals to live in the United States. Mexican artisan Dalton Ramirez said he was giving angry Mexicans an outlet—a piñata they could stuff with candy and beat with a stick—at his family’s shop.
