The phrase “Latino vote” has become increasingly common in political discourse, yet it oversimplifies the rich complexity of America’s Latino communities. Far from being a monolithic voting bloc, Latino Americans represent a tapestry of political viewpoints, cultural experiences and generational perspectives that defy easy categorization. While many embrace traditional Catholic and Christian principles and support law enforcement, their political perspectives vary significantly based on their country of origin, whether they’re U.S.-born or legal immigrants from countries like Puerto Rico, Cuba, Mexico or Venezuela.
