LA is only Dem because of Mexican Americans voting Dem. The sticking point is obvious. Of course, there would be reluctance to vote Trump with that group but I've encountered quite a few Mexican Americans who are secret supporters. I've had countless conversations with citizens who have illegal relatives and they know and understand why Americans don't like illegal immigration. Some even express their desire to fix the issue but would feel like they are betraying their relatives that have been living here for decades. I think the tide might be turning but would you willingly vote for something you know could possibly harm your parents or uncle or aunt or grandfather?
3rd generation Mexican American here, and 4th time Trump voter, if you count the primaries. My grandpa earned his citizenship by volunteering for the army and fighting from Normandy to the Ardennes. The mexican half of my family is split about 50/50 between successful working professionals and professional welfare queens. Fortunately the welfare leeches don't actually go out and vote.
The more Mexicans who move here, the more America becomes Mexico. CA is already basically Mexico. There are major parts of L.A. that look exactly like Mexico. Nobody speaks English.

Tragedy of the commons.
