Senator, you whipped out that Mexican thing again.

– Republican Mike Pence, during Tuesday’s vice-presidential debate against Democrat Tim Kaine

A lesson from the 2016 election season: call the biggest group of immigrants to the US a group of “rapists” and “criminals” and it turns out: your opponents will bring it up over and over again.

Republican Mike Pence is sick of hearing about Donald Trump’s comments – but we have a feeling our readers have more to say. Show us what “that Mexican thing” actually looks like to you. Upload your images – family photos? A meal? An original meme that gets it just right? – through GuardianWitness by clicking the “Contribute with GuardianWitness” button above. We want to see your interpretation.

You can also use the GuardianWitness smartphone app or the Guardian app and search for “GuardianWitness assignments”.
