Richard Land, in
arguing for a guaranteed path to citizenship for illegal aliens already in the country,
repeatedly stresses how pro-family the Hispanic community is, and assures us
they will be the natural allies of the conservative movement.
Not so fast.
According to the Christian Post, 57% of Latino Catholics in California support
homosexual marriage. Let’s not forget that Latinos make up 36.6 percent
of California’s population.
The good news, if
you happen to be an evangelical, is that just 22 percent of Latino Protestants
support gay marriage.
If getting
pro-family illegals legalized is the goal, perhaps Dr. Land can be persuaded to
amend his recommendation and give preference to Protestant illegal aliens.
Also, the
illegitimacy rate among Hispanic women is over 50%. I’m not sure pro-family
values are as strong in the Hispanic community as Dr. Land wants to believe.
