Most of them were Americans and the fact is that it matters a great deal to the right wing, and exposes their hypocrisy to keep pointing it out. They don't want to help them as much because their skin is darker and Spanish is the primary language there, and that's heinous and it should be clear that this is the case even with American citizens.
Also it does make it worse, given that they pay some federal taxes and should get every bit as much help as any US state.
