Message: Entry: A Sensible Immigration Policy Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/a_sensible_immigration_policy#13360 Post contents: I can certainly see why Kirt Higdon wants to keep importing Catholics. The story linked below states that 71 percent of all new Catholics in the US since 1960 are the result of Latino immigration. That of course doesn’t include immigration from Vietnam or the Philippines or even Eastern Europe. In other words, if it weren’t for immigration, the Catholic presence in the USA would not have grown much if at all in the last 47 years. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080103/ap_on_re_us/religion_today_2 Hispanics account for nearly 40 percent of the nation's 65 million Catholics and 71 percent of new U.S. Catholics since 1960, studies show.
