The U.S. Open is in Queens, where 49% of all residents are immigrants. NYC does not have the same large number of rabid anti-immigrant people that other parts of the country do.
I think The Donald got a very special New York cheer aimed at him specifically.

NYC is not hostile to immigrants the same way as some parts of the country. Many in attendance are tourists from abroad. A lot of the workers at the US Open are indeed immigrants. In putting all this together, I do not think that HRC would have received the same hostility.

Though I would argue that HRC might get booed because Republicans generally seem to fervently dislike her and there are probably a fair number of Republicans in attendance at the US Open.

Probably not the same level of hostility as Trump, though - I would agree.
