I think he was just trying to appeal to black and latino voters by saying that illegal immigrants are taking their jobs specifically and therefore they should vote for Trump to prevent that. But then because it’s Trump he naturally worded it in basically the worst way possible.

Right, but illegal immigrants are only able to get the worst/illegal jobs because they do not have appropriate documentation.

Meaning to say that they are specifically stealing black/Mexican jobs is to imply that is the only work those groups can get.

No it only implies that such jobs are predominately done by black and latino people, not that it’s the only jobs black and latino people can get or even that it’s a majority of the jobs they can get. If the only people working such jobs are black or latino but they only make up 0.1% of the total jobs that all black and latino people work, you could still “reasonably” call them black and latino jobs (with a loose definition of reasonable at least). It would be a dumb thing to call them but technically not incorrect.
