That little more than century old case is still cited as one which established the concept of birthright citizenship Trump and his supporters have been campaigning to eliminate to avoid the supposed problem of the pejoratively named “anchor babies”…which in the context it has been used by them and hangerons is racist as it’s often applied mainly to “foreign looking” folks.
Interestingly, I was having a heated online debate with a friend of a friend who is a Trump supporter who was ignorant enough to believe there’s no established precedent regarding birthright citizenship and assumed it was a “made up”. My citation and explanation of the US vs Wong Kim Ark(1898) ruling effectively showed him up on his ignorance on that score.
Haven’t seen any examples of that term applied to illegal immigrants of White European descent. Maybe you can find a few examples.
Here’s a few more examples of US citizens being deported due to xenophobic hysteria:

Also, here’s one recent disturbing case of Trump supporters in the form of Sheriff Arapaio’s unsavory department* attempting to single out a Latino US citizen for detainment with US immigration authorities with the dangerous possibility of mistaken deportation:

Funny enough…none of the other protesters she was protesting with who happened to be White were similarly turned over to the ICE.
- They've been known to racially profile Latinos as the following articles which illustrate Federal court rulings for them to cease such practices and finding him and his department in contempt for failing to comply with those rulings:

A troubling pattern of behavior by a LEO and his department…and a prominent Trump supporter.
