Majority of the Mexican freeloaders illegally come to American,protestants convert them, and they in turn vote for democrats who give them all the freebies. The devout hispanic Catholics that have lied in the US for generation after generation are Catholic and vote for republicans. My Mexican-American buddy I knew when I worked at the VA hospital, a retired Air Force master sergeant, relayed those facts to me.

Are you going to tell us that you didn't give any thought to his words? What was his military speciality? Counter-Ops?

In-credible, hearsay testimony settles it, as besides the fitting typo, this assertion adds to his record of such absurd accusations that are contrary to actually what can be substantiated.

Or course, he also imagines about 50% of the military are Catholic, and seemingly that blacks make up much of the evangelical church (vs. 6%).

Here, the statistical data is that 68% of all Latinos in the U.S. identify as Catholics, and Latinos comprised 32 percent of all U.S. Catholics even in 2008. 18% of all Latinos say they have either converted from one religion to another or to no religion at all. - http://www.peacebyjesus.com/RC-Stats_vs._Evang.html#DEMOGRAPHICS

53% of Hispanics identify as Catholic (69% as children), 13% identify as evangelical Protestant (7% as children) and 12% as mainline Protestant. 12% claim no religious affiliation (5% as children) and 6% identify with a non-Christian religion.

Hispanics who were born outside of the United States are more likely to identify as Catholic (64%) than Hispanics overall, and are less likely to identify as Protestant (9% mainline, 11% evangelical) or religiously unaffiliated (11%).

50% of Hispanics identify with the Democratic Party compared to just 15% who identify with the Republican Party, while 24% say they are politically independent.

Among Hispanic registered voters, 56% identify with the Democratic Party, compared to 19% who identify with the Republican Party and 19% who identify as independent.

68% of Hispanic Catholics and 60% of mainline Protestants and 57% of religiously unaffiliated Hispanics and 50% of Evangelical Protestants report having a favorable view of the Democratic Party, divided (50% favorable, 44% unfavorable).

Latino Catholics overwhelmingly supported Obama over McCain (72% to 26%). 68% of Hispanic voters report having voted for Barack Obama, while 29% report having voted for Mitt Romney.

33% of Hispanics report they currently have a close friend or family member living in the United States illegally.

80% of religiously unaffiliated Hispanics, and 62% of Hispanic Catholics, and 47% of Hispanic mainline Protestants support allowing gay and lesbian couples to marry, versus 21% of evangelical Protestants (79% oppose same-sex marriage).

52% of Hispanic Catholics say abortion should be illegal in all or most cases, along with 74% of Evangelical Protestants.

30% of Hispanic Catholics say that having an abortion is morally wrong, compared to 7% who say it is morally acceptable. nearly 59% of evangelical Protestants say that having an abortion is morally wrong, compared to only 4% who say it is morally acceptable.

45% of Hispanic Catholics and 51% of mainline Protestants say that sex between two adults of the same gender is morally wrong, compared to 16% of Catholics and 19% of mainline Protestants who say it is morally acceptable.10% of Hispanic Catholics and 4% of mainline Protestants believe the morality of same gender sexual activity depends on the situation, and 27% of Catholics and 23% of mainline Protestants say it is not a moral issue.

72% of evangelical Protestants say that sex between two adults of the same gender is morally wrong, while 8% say it is morally acceptable. 6% say either that the morality of the behavior depends on the situation and 14% say that it is not a moral issue.

51% of Hispanic Catholics and mainline Protestants say that it is possible to disagree with church teachings on homosexuality and remain a good Catholic or Christian, versus 70% of evangelical Hispanic Protestants who say it is not possible to disagree with church teachings on the issue of homosexuality and remain a good Christian.

12% of Hispanic Catholics, and 22% of Hispanic mainline Protestants and 50% of Hispanic evangelicals report that religion is the most important thing in their lives.

Catholics and mainline Protestants do not differ in the frequency of their religious attendance from Hispanics overall, while evangelical Protestants are significantly more likely to attend religious services regularly.

5% of Hispanics report that they do not believe in God. Hispanic Catholics closely resemble Hispanics overall, with 59% believing God is a person and 32% believing God is an impersonal force. Mainline Protestants are significantly more likely than Catholics to believe God is a person (69%) and less likely to believe God is an impersonal force (25%). More than 8-in-10 (85%) evangelical Protestants believe God is a person with whom one can have a relationship. - http://publicreligion.org/site/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/2013_HVS_FINAL.pdf

45% of Latino Catholics (versus 16 percent of White evangelical Christians, and 23% of Black Protestants) supported the rights of same-sex couples to marry;

And in California Latino Catholics are even more liberal than than white Catholics. 62% of California Catholics are Latino, and 57% of Latino Catholics say they would vote to allow gay and lesbian couples to marry in California, compared to 45% of white Catholics.- http://publicreligion.org/site/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Catholics-and-LGBT-Issues-Survey-Report.pdf

Meaning according to hearsay testimony, the majority of the 15% of Hispanics who identify with the Republican Party and the 26% - 29% of conservative voters in the last Presidential elections come from the 68% of all Latinos in the U.S. who identify as Catholics. Yet it is Protestants who are the more conservative, and the most Republican, esp. evang. Prots, thus they are the ones who would provide most of the conservative vote.

Meanwhile, it is very evident that the the Republican Party has acted according to its image, not interacting with the immigrants and the lower class, allowing them to believe the party of the demonic victim-entitlement mentality is best for them in the long run. But since the Republican today vote too much like liberals of yesteryear, it seems, then perhaps that fitting.

We should do what we can as Christians have a unique share in this country, as shareholders, but i consider it as having gone off the edge. As with the NT church which has worse civil rulers, the focus must be on being distinct evangelical people, a holy nation within a nation, as being founded upon a solid Rock that will not roll, and anchor for our souls.
