I think this is similar to why Democrats used to be against illegal immigration from Mexico and other nations south of the border but are for it now (e.g. "Illegal Immigration: It's About Power").
That's also why Democrats despise Trump: (1) he wants to build a wall to stem the tide of illegal immigration, (2) he wants to reform immigration laws and policies, and (3) he has broached the US reforming how citizenship is granted. All this threatens the Democratic power structure.
1. That's why Democrats are so quick to try to paint conservatives as racist.
Of course, as far as that goes, there are racist liberals as well as conservatives (e.g. see the Black Hebrew Israelites vs. the Covington boys).
Not to mention there are black, Latino, Asian-American, Native American, Middle Eastern, and other conservatives, but they're routinely denounced by the left as traitors to their own race.
2. In any case, for most conservatives, it's never been about race or ethnicity. If we have to categorize broadly, it's been about culture. Specifically, U.S. culture.
Nothing wrong with many other cultures, though of course there are some cultures which are dangerous and evil (e.g. most Muslim cultures).
At the same time, there's nothing wrong with being proud of U.S. or American culture either. There's no shame in defending American values as espoused in the U.S. Constitution.
Yet the left tries to make Americans feel guilty about this too. The left tries to shame and guilt Americans for being proud of being American (even while the left praises other cultures including Muslims for being proud of their cultures).
3. That said, as a Christian, I don't entirely agree with everything in U.S. culture.

Well the Democrats are now coming out in favour of illegal immigrant voting:

So combine that with a little cheddar from Soros and it's really just a naked power grab, as should be obvious.
