In a way many of them are one in the same.

A Latino person that is here legally may want their family to be able to come here and be with them, but doing so legally is not very easy. So some of them do it illegally and others just wait and hope for immigration reform.

So if a party were to enact immigration reform that makes coming here easier it could be a windfall of voters for decades to come. If a candidate attacks illegals like Trump did they risk offending those that are legal because they are talking about their friends and family.
