They're coming from Honduras, El Salvador, Guatamala I know that some of the deplorables don't care where they're coming from - only that they have brown skin. But I just thought that for some of the deplorables - having this knowledge might make a difference.

If they're coming from the south, they're "Mexican". If they're dark skinned and not coming from the south, they're "Muslim".
That's it in the Trump brain.

I don't know if my husband can tell by their Spanish and he is Mexican-American. I can usually tell a city (Mexico City in particular) accent from rural accent. Accents are regional, but to my untrained ears Central Americans have the same accent as rural Mexicans. (Southern part of Mexico)
To me it's like trying to tell the difference between a Canadian and Minnesotan.
