Which countries are those, exactly? I"ll refer you to:
- "South American Immigrants in the United States" [1];
- "Hispanics and Latinos in California" [2].
Now California's single largest ethnicity is Hispanic. Nearly all are of Mexican descent. They're underrepresented in voting though where the typical California voter is still older and white [3].
We have Venezuelan refugees now. Their government is ostensibly socialist. So Venezuelan refugees have similar leanings to Cuban immigrants.
Colombians are a large group there. One exit poll suggested roughly half voted for Trump in 2020 [4].
The point is that the Latino and Hispanic vote is complicated and certainly not monolithic.
