Here's what you need to understand. Most Latinos don't remember the massive deportation efforts that went on in spurts up through the 1980's, when Reagan (and later both Bushes) implemented immigration amnesties to keep labor costs down and break the Unions.
They don't remember the roundups in the 1950's where thousands of American citizens of latino heritage were swept up along with immigrants, nor do they remember those 8 months or so when *rump initially began undocumented crackdowns, those only occured in easy locations and petered out because his government refused to appropriately fund DHS enough to make a real push to deport Latinos nationwide like he promised.
If this current administration gets rid of birthright citizenship as promised, immigration status won't mean a damn thing. But of course, *rump wouldn't try to do anything like that, just like he wouldn't sign a National Abortion Ban. He's "just saying" these things that those crazies want so they'd vote for him.
Right?
