As long as they show up simply to intimidate with their presence. This will fire up the D base. Also, it will only prove that undocumented migrants CANNOT VOTE, after Dems win. They will have no excuses about that. Especially if they do drag some Hispanic folks out of the line to confirm their citizenship. That story will go against them when they find no illegal voters in line. And they'll be criticized for harassing US voters.
