There are a couple sides to this. One is that, according to her Wiki page, that the song also represents Gaga's fear of commitment to the point where she cannot even remember the name of her lover (exemplified in the multiple changing of names; "Alejandro," "Fernando," "Roberto"). Additionally, the line "Mexico, rejoice!" ties into the whole "What happens in Mexico, stays in Mexico" theme that is ever-popular among Spring-Breakers in Cancun. The song is also about being promiscuous and garnering as much money as possible, then realizing how wrong it is: "I know that we are young, and I know that you may love me; but I just can't be with you like this anymore...Alejandro." By that time, however, "Alejandro" is already in love with the speaker as he calls her name and addresses her as "babe." Unfortunately for him, he has no idea that she never felt anything more for him than lust and financial assistance.

Another side claims that the song is religious, depicting the fact that Jesus and God does not really love everybody, since it is mentioned in The Bible that God does not favor nor love those who practice homosexuality or anything that is related to only being together for lust or money. These same people see that

Alejandro means man's defender and protector, thus being God, Fernando being the ardent for peace, or Jesus and Roberto equating to the bright or shining fame, being the Holy Spirit. Furthermore, the term Hotter than Mexico means Hell. This argument can further be supported by the outfit she wears in the video: an outfit with a cross upside down on her crotch area and the symbolism of her swallowing rosemary beads.
It's about organized religion and homosexuality.
