Are most illegal Immigrants catholic/christian?
Advertisements [?]
A christian myself, so not trying to Diss the faith angle at all - but have been wondering about this.

Most the Mexicans I have met and talked with are catholic (I am not) and anti-abortion, anti-gay, etc. IE, from my personal experience I have seen that most are RW'ers - hard work is how to get ahead, Abortion is murder, and the party of morals is the republicans.

I have met illegals (and legals) of the opposite spectrum, but very few. While the right is whining that illegals want to come in and suck up welfare, et al, I see it as the right is picking up votes by leveraging the morals of such folk.

I wonder too how would we frame the debate on this if we asked 'should we allow 11 million illegal catholics' to become legal, voting, citizens?

Maybe it is not about color - but about faith?
