The United States is a nation of immigrants; the various cultures that now call America home have each brought their unique strengths and perspectives with them. This paper considers four groups of Hispanics living in the U.S.: Mexican-Americans, Cuban-Americans, Puerto Ricans and Latinos and aspects of each culture.
Mexican-Americans make up approximately 64% of the Hispanic population in the United States; they are concentrated mostly in the Southwest, though there are sizeable populations in Chicago, Florida and North Carolina (Mexican American, 2006).

They split 39% for Bush and 58% for Kerry"; in California the split was "32% for Bush and 63% for Kerry"a landslide for the Democrat. Even in Texas Kerry won this group, though only by 2% of the vote (Mexican American, 2006). While they vote Democratic, they tend to be "conservative on social issues, such as abortion and homosexuality, and show strong loyalties to the traditional version of the Roman Catholic Church" though there are a growing number of non-Catholics in the population (Mexican American, 2006).
