Maybe.You should thank Trump because he's so soft on illegal aliens. Ferdinand & Isabella got rid of theirs in about a year.
Looking up the Fall of Granada (which would appear to be what you're talking about), It looks like not a word of what you just said is accurate. It took Ferdinand and Isabella almost a decade for them to take Granada, and for a brief time, they were actually allowed to live and practice their own religion (a state of affairs which ended in 1501). They were not all removed like you suggest.
However, now I think you may be referring to the Alhambra Decree, which forced practicing (non-converted) Jews to leave Spain in 1492. That's still not accurate since the Jews who converted were allowed to stay (and for centuries afterward were subject to obscene degrees of scrutiny to make sure they weren't still practicing.)
And naturally, such an attitude is frowned upon in the present days due to the massive increase in understanding of human rights in the five-and-a-quarter centuries since then, which was first put into practice in the very nation Trump is running now. Granted, we've historically fallen far short of the ideals we've been going on about, but at least we've tried.
