As a non American, I keep being surprised. Did not know Harris won. But perhaps you mean the age group 18-24 only?

The reason more of the latin community voted Trump is logical. People that went through the arduous process in becoming a citizen, which probably took years, do not appreciate others taking a shortcut. It's really that simple. Legal vs. Illegal immigration.

Yes. I meant she won on the 18-24 age group 

For the latin group in question, I believe the absolute majority of the latin voters are not actually naturalized citizens. There is around 8 million naturalized latin americans, while there is 43 million US-born latin-americans 

Sounds to me latin american who went to Trump are in the group of single-issue voters. They are catholic (the second largest statical group to swing right, second the the aforementioned latin men). Since there is a relatively strong connection between latin americans and catholic Americans, and both groups swing right in similar proportion is reasonable to assume they are the same group 

I don't believe this group perceived other latins are evil who want to destroy the country, a non insignificant number of latin US born Americans are in fact children of illegal immigrants

But one thing they really hate with passion is the more secular and liberal culture the dominated the USA media in the last few years. For them LGBT community, specially trans community, feminism, woke culture, Yada Yada are all harmful and they want a leader to take care of them and vanish with the woke mob 

This is the by far the most vile and despicable group of republican voters, and oh boy there are TONS of them. At least a big enough number to push states with huge latin communities even more to the right and give the Republicans, for the first time since the 2004, a win on public vote

A lot of what you are saying makes sense. But I do need to add some things. 

The original US Christianity is a mostly protestant take, not Catholic. We had many wars here in Europe because of that difference. I'm not sure the Latin Catholic take would mean a natural alliance with US bound Christian believes.
