You left out that we had years of dems talking about DACA but harris/biden tried to triangulate on immigration leading to latinos not voting in many places.
That's what I used to think too.
Then, around Trump's first campaign, I talked to plenty of Latinos that voted Republican. They didn't generally give a fuck about immigration. They were quite happy for the borders to be shut down, where they came from, everything was very fuck you, I got mine. They're more than happy to pull the ladders up now that they're over here with their family to limit competition for those job sectors.
They also vote Republican based on entrepreneurial and business wants. They either start small companies or work for small companies. And they see it as very much in their interest for those companies to prosper.
I kind of suspect at this point that they'd be a bit apprehensive to vote Republican with all the Gestapo bullshit going on, still, but I haven't had any political talks with Latinos since Trump's first campaign. It's honestly hard to tell.
Those are not the people that didn't vote afaik. Immigrants from mexico, central and south america tend to be more catholic and conservative. (Which is why its always actually been about racism) its generally younger latinos that will vote democrat but like all younger voters its more about turnout.
