Donald Trump’s surprising level of support among U.S. Latina/o voters in 2016 and his improved performance in the 2020 election posed a puzzle for Latina/o politics scholars given his stridently anti-immigrant agenda. Although scholars have acknowledged the political gender gap between Latinas and Latino men, few studies have outlined the theoretical basis or explored the empirical existence of gender differences in Latina/o immigration enforcement attitudes. Building on the Latina politics literature documenting Latinas’ greater engagement in solidarity work with immigrants and their greater desire for cultural transmission and the maintenance of pan-ethnic identity, I test two hypotheses. The first (the Latina/o gender hypothesis) postulates that Latinas will exhibit more liberal attitudes on matters of immigration enforcement relative to Latino men. The second (the immigrant identity hypothesis) postulates that Latinas are more likely to rely on their sense of commonality with immigrants in the formation of their immigration enforcement attitudes. Bivariate and multivariate analyses of the 2020 Collaborative Multiracial Postelection Survey support both hypotheses, which suggests not only that immigration attitudes among Latinas and Latino men are meaningfully distinct, but also that there are important structural differences underlying Latina/o beliefs in this policy area.

拉丁裔和拉丁裔之间的墙？美国拉丁裔选民的性别和移民执法态度

唐纳德特朗普在 2016 年在美国拉美裔选民中的支持率令人惊讶，而且他在 2020 年大选中的表现有所改善，这让拉美裔政治学者感到困惑，因为他提出了尖锐的反移民议程。尽管学者们承认拉丁裔和拉丁裔男性之间的政治性别差距，但很少有研究概述理论基础或探讨拉丁裔/非移民执法态度中性别差异的实证存在。基于记录拉丁裔更多地参与与移民的团结工作以及他们对文化传播和维护泛种族身份的更大渴望的拉丁裔政治文献，我检验了两个假设。第一个（拉丁裔/o 性别假说）假定拉丁裔将在移民执法问题上表现出比拉丁裔男性更自由的态度。第二个（移民身份假说）假设拉丁裔更有可能依赖于他们与移民的共同感来形成他们的移民执法态度。2020 年协作性多种族选举后调查的双变量和多变量分析支持这两个假设，这表明不仅拉丁裔和拉丁裔男性的移民态度明显不同，而且在这一政策领域的拉丁裔/非裔信仰基础上存在重要的结构差异。第二个（移民身份假说）假设拉丁裔更有可能依赖于他们与移民的共同感来形成他们的移民执法态度。2020 年协作性多种族选举后调查的双变量和多变量分析支持这两个假设，这表明不仅拉丁裔和拉丁裔男性的移民态度明显不同，而且在这一政策领域的拉丁裔/非裔信仰基础上存在重要的结构差异。第二个（移民身份假说）假设拉丁裔更有可能依赖于他们与移民的共同感来形成他们的移民执法态度。2020 年协作性多种族选举后调查的双变量和多变量分析支持这两个假设，这表明不仅拉丁裔和拉丁裔男性的移民态度明显不同，而且在这一政策领域的拉丁裔/非裔信仰基础上存在重要的结构差异。
