So removing non-white Hispanics from America would count? What if the goal isn't to render the area ethnically homogenous?

Obviously that’s the argument put forth. Why phrase it as a question?

A fair point, since a favorite argument of the regime and now protected legal doctrine is “the bad thing happened but it’s ok because we didn’t mean it like that”.

Except that doesn’t apply in this case since the goal is explicitly stated.
