I am pleased to see that you agree that Trump's stated initial focus on actual criminal illegal aliens is in fact a sensible, moderate step, not at all out of keeping with Bill Clinton's rhetoric back in the 90s, or indeed the NYT editorial board as late as 2000.
It's also worth pointing out that Trump received a non-negligible share of the Hispanic vote (which admittedly includes more than just Mexicans), and that existing working-class immigrants may in fact have as much or more to gain from kicking away the ladder behind them (as it were) as do native-born Americans.
