It's a very common term. As common as other animal analogies like "hood rat" "war hawk" "dove" and dozens of others. It not even close to being obscure.
Not knowing what it means in the context it was used does show a very supreme ignorance about issues at the Mexican border. And by people purporting to care so very much about what's going on down there no less.
But they think coyote refers only to the canine critter that steals chickens and fluffy the pet cat. And they dont even know about those habits of the actual animal. Theres really no excuse , other than willful ignorance, for not understanding the term.

^^^^Very well said
It amazes me as to how many people don't know what is going on at the southern border. These are the same people who scream "racist!" when someone mentions securing the border. They really have no clue as to the deleterious effects of illegal immigration.
And, yes, the term "coyote" has been around for decades.
