Halloween is still six months away, but a controversial 'Border Wall' costume inspired by President Trump's immigration enforcement policy has already come come under fire for being 'racist' and 'offensive'.

Costume Agent's unisex costume has the words 'Mexico Will Pay' splashed across a onesie that features a white and black brick wall pattern, and it is retailing for $19.95 for adult sizes and $12.95 for a teen version.

The getup, which is officially named 'Trump Mexico Will Pay Zip Up Costume Jumpsuit', is being sold on Amazon, and critics are flocking to the site to give the item abysmal one-star reviews.

'Disappointed in Amazon for promoting this type of item. Some people think it's a joke, for others is an insult. This item promotes hatred. Take this down Amazon!!' one person commented.

Another added: 'Pathetic Amazon sells this crap. Not even funny. Later on we will find KKK products in here.'

And one person wrote: 'I can't believe someone even made this. It is so distasteful. Grow up and educate yourself before you go around wearing offensive things like this.'
No only did people share their displeasure, they said they were going to cancel their Amazon Prime memberships.

'I'm very disappointed that this costume is sponsored by Amazon,' one person explained. 'I'm a Prime member for years and I feel like this is very offensive to the Mexican/Hispanic community.'

There is even a petition asking Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos to remove the costume from the site.

'The "costume" advertised on Amazon's website promotes this despicable xenophobia and is nothing more than a modernized version of a Ku Klux Klan robe,' activist Jeronimo Saldaña wrote in the petition.
'We demand Amazon immediately remove it and all other racist merchandise from its site.'

The petition, which was started 11 days ago, has almost reached its goal of 600 signatures, and many threatened to stop purchasing from the site until the costume is pulled.

Although there are plenty of critics of the costume, the Amazon customers who actually purchased the onesie have been singing its praises, with many noting that it was a 'hit' when they wore it.

'Only people with no imagination/sense of humor were offended. Everyone else loved it. Even the Democrats. Probably because it accents my package,' one man wrote, while a woman named Cindy wrote: 'Love it!'
Another guy said he was inspired to by the costume after seeing 'one-star reviews from snowflakes who didn't purchase this product'.

'Ordering this right after I submit this review. I figure if those crybabies can leave a one-star review for a product that they haven't purchased then I can leave a review for something that I didn't have any interest in purchasing before this manufactured outrage hit "petition" status with Amazon,' he wrote.

Will Jeff Bezos fold up like a cheap tent or will he let Free Speech that he disagrees with remain?

And while the controversy seems to be just getting started, a Florida man was photographed wearing the costume in question during a Trump rally in Orlando in March 2016.

The man was spotted sitting in a crowd of Trump supporters, and he was also sporting a white hat that said 'Trump Wall'.
Daily Mail Online has reached out to Amazon for comment.
