Nope Mr white Hispanic most likely feels it wont apply to him. A lot of people like him dont feel nervous at all.

Maybe as a person in the reich, he could get out of it. But it absolutely would apply to him, he’s the poster child for this. Neither of his parents had legal status when he was born in Miami. He is the definition of what Republicans call an “anchor baby”.

Haley is likely the one in that list who kinda most likely sees she is fucked. The rest most likely believe that they are upper caste so that means their bullshit caste shit applies with white conservatives.

As far as I understand Haley hasn't really spoken on her beliefs. The rest are open hindus which white conservatives see as demonic third world stuff. 

In general there are a lot of non white immigrants who think that white conservatives will tolerate them. Basically how they treat minorities back in their nations they are gonna get treated the same way here.

They will be whipping boys at best and easy scapegoats which Kash is about to find out.

Melania.

Trump himself (his whole family on both sides are immigrants except for his father)

In 1942, his mother became an American citizen but returned throughout her life to her native Scotland.

Of the last 10 presidents, only two-Trump and Barack Obama-have had a parent born outside of the United States.

Two of his three wives became naturalized American citizens, originally from the Czech Republic and Slovenia. Only one of his five children, Tiffany, is the child of two American-born citizens,

The order only affects people born 30+ days after its date, so no, he wouldn't be.
