LIBERALS, CONSERVATIVES, AND LATIN AMERICA: How Ideology Divides Americans over Immigration and Foreign Aid.

Academic Journal

By: Gries, Peter Hays. Latin American Research Review. 2016, Vol. 51 Issue 3, p23-46. 24p. 2 Diagrams, 1 Chart, 2 Graphs. Abstract (English): Based on an original US survey, this article argues that, on average, US conservatives today feel substantially cooler toward Latin American countries than liberals do. They also desire massively tougher Mexico border policies and much less foreign aid than liberals do. Averages can hide substantial differences within groups, however. Not all liberals and conservatives are alike, and their differences shape attitudes toward Latin America. For instance, our survey reveals that libertarians and economic conservatives oppose foreign aid to places like Haiti out of a belief in the Protestant ethic of self-help and opposition to income redistribution. Communitarians and economic liberals, by contrast, are more supportive of foreign aid to Haiti. Cultural conservatives fear the impact of Mexican immigration on Christian values and a WASP American national identity more than cultural liberals do. But race and racism continue to divide Americans the most consistently in their attitudes and policy preferences toward Latin America. The policy implications of ideologically divided public opinion for US immigration reform are also addressed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] (AN: 118920786)
