Latinos are typically either VERY conservative or VERY liberal. Cubans especially if they hate Castro.
It also doesn't help that there were efforts by the right to spread misinformation to right leaning Hispanic voters linking democrats to the authoritarian leaders they fled. It was an effective strategy.

The western showdown with caste discrimination is a direct result of this, migrants from south asia tend to imbalance towards higher caste individuals who have a chip on their shoulder from India having passed caste affirmative action and who then go on to pick fights about how its their religious right to engage in it in the west.
