Why some hispanics still support Trump?

Since many Hispanics continue to support Trump, I understand why some people assume that most Hispanics are conservative. However, American conservatism is not fully compatible with Hispanic culture, especially because it often has anti-Catholic undertones.

Second, a not so small part of the conservative base believes in replacement theory, meaning that some people vote out of fear that Hispanics and other minorities will become the majority instead of white Americans.

Also, I understand that illegal immigration is a serious issue, and I even agree that undocumented immigrants should be deported. However, because of the ignorance of many people, that anger is often transferred to all Hispanics. The negative reputation associated with undocumented immigrants ends up affecting Hispanics in general, because many conservatives automatically suspect that Hispanic people are undocumented, even when they are not.
