Sunday my wife and I went to the church of one of her friends. We got there early, during the Chinese service. They were preaching and praying against Godless Communism while planning how to ship more Bibles to their underground churches.
Then the Spanish service started. After some rousing music the pastor gave his Father's Day sermon. I heard his theme as: "El Hombre de valor es productivo capitalismo en Dios." He then elaborated on how a real man is productive in having children and raising them to honor God and to use the talents God gave them, etc. (I loosely translate "hombre de valor" = "real man")
In both Chinese & Hispanic congregations I'd estimate 50% of adults not citizens, 20% illegals. Some were Contras who fought the Commies in Central America. Of the citizens, I'd bet few are registered to vote.... and this in the Chicago suburb with the strongest GOP outreach to minorities.
The Chinese and Spanish services were a big contrast to the Roman Catholic mass I attended earlier this same Sunday. In that mass, the priest preached against how the bishops had just come out with a stronger position on communion to abortion supporters.
Let's not all lose our heads over this.
