I don't think he is using Dog whistle politics..That would be more speaking in coded or more 'politically correct' language or rhetoric.
He is being much more specific and clear.
Dog whistle would be more when someone say stuff like "The Real America"
Saying something blunt like "Mexicans are coming here illegally and some are committing crimes" isn't dog whistle.
