With regard to the Gulf Coast, that falls, I think (though I stand to be corrected), under the distinction I was making between recent, or later-wave, immigration patterns and those that occured, say, over a century ago. And I excepted immigration of Latin Americans from my general statement.
As for Florida, I think it is indeed arguable that many of the immigration patterns in the last century have made Florida less traditionally Southern.
