Much of the immigration debate in the U.S. tends to focus on Latinos. However, it's important to remember that immigration is more than a "Latino issue." Moreover, young Latinas aren't single-issue voters (imagine: we can care about health care and immigration and education all at the same time!). Here, just 10 issues that twentysomething Latinas care about that have nothing to do with immigration. 

1. Education. Many Latino parents drill the importance of education into their kids. The National Center for Education Statistics reports that between1990 and 2014, the percentage of Latinos ages 25 to 29 who obtained a bachelor's degree grew from 8 to 15 percent and, in fact, the graduation rate for Latinas has improved faster than it has for women in any other racial or ethnic group. However, Latinas are still severely underrepresented in college, holding only 7.4 percent of degrees earned by women, even though they represent 16 percent of the female population, and they make up only 3 percent of women in STEM fields, the Center for American Progress reports. 

2. Gun violence. Police violence has been a hot topic among aspiring presidential candidates, and it's an issue that affects Latinos in a big way. Homicide is the second leading cause of death for Latinos ages 14 to 23, and a 2014 study done by the Denver Post, Univision, and the Kellogg Foundation found that 68 percent of Latinos worry about excessive police violence. And when gun violence does affect Latino communities, Latinas are often the ones trying to hold families together. "Women are caught in the crosshairs," Alicia Garza, one of the founders of Black Lives Matter, told Cosmo for Latinas earlier this year. "We are either criminalized ourselves, or our loved ones are criminalized, which places an extra burden on us to hold everything together."

3. Health care. Latinas are more likely than the general population to be obese, have diabetes, and be diagnosed with cervical or breast cancer, but they're also less likely than their peers to have insurance, with 38 percent reporting that they're uninsured, according to the Center for American Progress. In fact, Latinos overall are more likely than any other racial or ethnic group to be uninsured, but they're also more likely than the general public to support the Affordable Care Act, according to the Pew Hispanic Research Center. 

4. Reproductive rights. Activists and health-care workers have known for a long time that restricting access to birth control and abortion disproportionately harms women of color, especially those living in low-income or rural communities. Texas is a good example of this. As part of a joint initiative, the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Rights and the Center for Reproductive Rights examined the Texas Legislature's 2015 session and found that the state decreased access to birth control, sex education, abortion, and breast cancer screenings, all of which are issues that affect Latinas more than their non-Latina counterparts. Moreover, the state has some of the most stringent anti-abortion laws in the nation, with only 20 clinics in the state that perform abortions (down from 45 in 2010). That number could drop to 10, if the Supreme Court decides to hear a challenge to Texas's 2013 House Bill 2. Moreover, there are no abortion clinics in the Rio Grande Valley, which is a heavily Latino, mostly poor, community with some of the strictest barriers to birth control in the country. 

5. LGBTQ Rights. Latinos aren't more homophobic than the general population. In fact, a 2012 study done by The National Council of La Raza and Social Science Research Solutions found that 83 percent of the Latino population supports expanding hate crimes legislation, and housing and employment protections for the LGBTQ population. The same study did find that older and more religious Latinos tended to be less accepting of the LGBTQ population younger Latinos; however, it also found that the longer Latinos live in the U.S., and the more acculturated they become, the more accepting and open-minded they become, and the more they support pro-LBGTQ policies. 

6. Economic security. The U.S. has long suffered from a "racial wealth gap," in which blacks and Latinos earn less than their white counterparts (the gap persists even when controlled for factors such as education levels), which means they ultimately hold less wealth than white Americans do. In particular, Latinos only hold 2.2 percent of the country's wealth, according to the Washington Post. And when it comes to the wage gap, Latinas are hit harder than anyone else, making $0.56 to every $0.78 that non-Latina white women make and $0.64 that non-Latina black women make, according to the Center for American Progress. 

7. The environment. In September, polling firm Latino Decisions analyzed the results of four different environmental ballot initiatives and found that 79 percent of Latinos believe that we need to protect our nation's wildlife, public lands, and endangered species and 86 percent believe that we need to increase the conservation of water. "A lot of Latino households in the United States are in locations that are adversely affected by particulate pollution, by poor water quality," Gary Segura, co-founder of Latino Decisions, told NPR. "So quality of life, direct exposure to environmental hazards is quite common among the Latino population; we shouldn't be surprised they're concerned about it." 

8. Domestic violence. According a National Latin@ Network survey, 1 in 3 Latinas have experienced domestic violence. The same survey found that while this rate is consistent with other women from other ethnic groups, Latinas are less likely to report domestic violence and seek professional help for it than non-Latina women. However, another study, also done by the National Latin@ Network (in conjunction with the Avon Foundation) found that Latinas are more likely to talk about domestic violence with friends and family than non-Latinas, which suggests that while domestic violence is a problem in the Latino community, it's also one Latinas want to work toward ending. 

9. Political leadership. Non-partisan organization Political Parity and the National Hispanic Leadership Agenda crunched the numbers and found a huge, gaping hole in political leadership where Latinas should be. For example, there has only been one Latina governor (New Mexico governor Susana Martinez) and only 11 Latinas have ever served in Congress. Additionally, only 78 of 7,383 state senators in the U.S. are Latina, and no Latina has ever been elected to the U.S. Senate. That's why both organizations have come together to form Latinas Represent, an initiative that aims to put more Latinas in political positions of power by highlighting stories of Latinas who have run for office, connecting them with other Latinas, and providing resources for Latinas who want to work in politics. 

10. Sexual assault. Latinas are often left out of the national conversation surrounding sexual assault, but according to a joint survey the Avon Foundation for Women and Casa De Esperanza: National Latin@ Network conducted, 35 percent of Latinas know someone who's been sexually assaulted. Further, a CDC study found that 13.5 percent of Latinas have reported being raped, and a Department of Justice study found that Latinas are more likely to report that a partner has raped or sexually assaulted them than non-Latina women.
