Is this decline at least partially due to an influx of persons crossing our southern border?

Good question.
We know that, for the most part, black ethnic solidarity trumps both evangelical and Catholic teachings.
No reason to think that the same isn’t true of Hispanic newcomers, a lot of whom are evangelical rather than Catholic.

Is this decline at least partially due to an influx of persons crossing our southern border? According to the article, the decline is due primarily to aging members who are dying off in these congregations. They are not being replaced.
