Trump's America: 19 Celebs With Mexican Heritage Who Could Be Targets

Would these stars make it past the deportation laws?

Esperanza Spalding - This beautiful biracial jazz singer caused an upset when she took him the Best New Artist award at the 2011 Grammys. While Spalding knows she is Black and Mexican, among other things, she sadly doesn't know her exact ethnic makeup. "My mom had me late and grew up in a culture where diversity wasn’t exciting, like it is now. Her family didn’t make a big effort to embrace and pass on their inherited lineage stories," she explains. Spalding is trying hard to make up for lost time. She even sings in Spanish! (Photo: Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

Lupe Ontiveros - The veteran actress, who starred in films like Selena and As Good As It Gets, worked in Hollywood for four decades. She passed away from liver cancer in 2012, but fans and Latino groups became enraged when she was left out of the In Memoriam segment of the following year's Oscars. (Photo: Valerie Macon/Getty Images for NCLR)
