LOL, the Catholics do go to battle when the Catholic and immigration link is mentioned.

I am not a Catholic and I don't dispute at all that the Catholic church has been supporting and defending illegal immigrants and welcoming legal immigrants. You need to reread what I have stated. Your anti-Catholic obsession is getting in the way of understanding what I said.

No, a third of Hispanic immigrants are not Evangelicals.

PRRI, which released the report today at the annual conference of the Religion Newswriters Association, puts the current breakdown among U.S. Latinos as still majority Catholic (53%), but now one-quarter Protestant (25%) and one-tenth religiously unaffiliated (12%). Protestants are "nearly evenly divided" between evangelical (13%) and mainline (12%) Christians.

Compared to their childhood religious affiliations, Hispanics are significantly less Catholic but are in equal measure becoming more evangelical Protestant and more religiously unaffiliated.

Catholic affiliation has dropped by 16 percentage points (from 69 percent in childhood to 53 percent today). Evangelical Protestant affiliation has increased by six percentage points (from seven percent in childhood to 13 percent today), while the percentage of those claiming no religious affiliation has increased by seven percentage points (from five percent in childhood to 12 percent today).

Switching Sides: Latinos Ditching Catholicism For Evangelical Churches

Latinos make up the largest ethnic minority in the United States — 52 million, according to latest Census stats. The majority — two-thirds — are still traditionally Roman Catholic. But there's been a palpable shift from one generation to the next, with the newer ones being "born again."

Evangelicals now number about 20 percent of the Latino population, according to the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference."

I will amend my statement and say that one-third are Protestant and 20% Evangelicals.

None of your efforts do anything to change the facts, the left depends on their Catholic immigration, and always has. If you were a democrat would you want to end this mass importation of millions of Catholic voters, the immigrants that are literally overtaking America?

The countries sending immigrants to this country are not just Catholic countries. India, China, and Korea are not Catholic countries.

Immigrants man, immigrants, a third of immigrant Hispanics are not Evangelical.

The ones that become Protestant in America, start voting more like Protestants.

I don’t even know why you keep claiming 33% of Hispanics are Protestant when they aren’t, but from switching to illegals and amnesty, now you want to switch from immigration to Hispanics already in America.

You then tell us what we already know, not all immigrants are Catholics from Catholic nations, which still doesn’t change a single thing that I have said.

America, and states, are being overtaken by Catholic immigration.

For a guy who started out sounding anti-immigration, you sure are trying to cover up the basic facts, the left has always fought to flood America with Catholics, and the 1965 immigration bill was intended for that, and it is the primary fact of current 2014 immigration.

No one here thinks that all immigration is Catholic, or Hispanic catholic, but we all know that is the number one force of immigration.
