Many Cubans defied this policy and control strategy because they saw it as a violation of their independence, but they felt obligated for cooperation because they relied on American sugar markets.

To my knowledge, many Latinos are/were immigrants or the children of immigrants. Due to this, they would prefer staying away from anything that is associated with the government; they would much rather not vote than be deported back to their country.

Civic engagement will become incredibly important for the Latino population in America as we seek to enhance our political representation at the local, state, and federal levels. It is no secret that a Latino majority is coming to our great nation. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2014 there were more than 20 million children under 5 years old living in the U.S., and 50.2 percent of them were minorities, mostly Latino. Given these numbers, it is especially troubling that research indicates a low level of civic engagement for Latinos across the nation.

Like millions of other young adults in the United States right now, I also migrated to the United States when I was quite young. I left my home in Caracas, Venezuela in the summer of 2006. I remember Venezuela fondly; the coastal breeze, the rich smell of the soil, the friendly "Hello" and "Goodbye" exchanged in elevators and waiting rooms, and most importantly the pastry shops that lined the streets and tantalized me with glazed and shiny delicacies and fresh gelato.
