Rather than be alarmed that Latinos are becoming increasingly supportive of Trump, you feel validated by it.
Your link refers to florida, the data is representative of the floridian contribution to the latino vote. Cubans in florida broke for trump by over 50%. Since florida is a swing state, and since cuban heritage is the majority contributor to the latino vote in florida (unlike literally every other state), and since native born latinos are the majority in florida - an appeal to nativist themes is likely to be as successful as it's ever been in that (growing) demographic.
