From the key I would guess it is 9.7%.

I read that as "9.7% greater than national average" or "9.7% less than national average." But you may be right.
What can only truthfully be characterized as an invasion has accelerated, as reflected in the latest population statistics. Consider these excerpts from an article at http://www.nationaljournal.com/maga...inority-nation-faster-than-expected-20110331:
"The Next America
Minorities are increasing in number faster than just about anyone expected.
The next America is arriving ahead of schedule. And it could rattle assumptions about the coming presidential election. Last week's release of national totals from the 2010 census showed that the minority share of the population increased over the past decade in every state, reaching levels higher than demographers anticipated almost everywhere, and in the nation as a whole…
AMERICA ON FAST-FORWARD
In releasing its final 2010 national results last week, the Census Bureau sent Americans a postcard from the future. From every angle, the results showed that the nation's transformation into a "majority-minority" nation is proceeding even faster than expected. Nationally, the overall share of the non-Hispanic white population dropped from 69.1 percent in 2000 to 63.7 in 2010, a greater decline than most analysts anticipated. In a mirror image, the minority population grew from 30.9 percent in 2000 to 36.3 percent in 2010…
Not only the depth but also the breadth of the minority expansion turned heads. From 2000 through 2010, the minority share of the population increased in every state. Four states are now majority minority: Hawaii, New Mexico, California, and Texas. In eight other states, minorities make up from 40 to 50 percent of the population. In 2000, minorities were 40 percent or more of the population in just four states…
Hispanics are the driving engine of this growth. On the national level, Latinos now represent one in six Americans, or nearly 50.5 million in all. That's up from one in eight, about 35.3 million, in 2000. The Hispanic share of the population increased over the past decade in every state, with dramatic gains recorded not only in Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas but also in Connecticut, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, New Jersey, Ohio, and Rhode Island…
Minorities' share of the vote, however, has always lagged their share of the population. That's partly because of differentials in registration and turnout, but also because a substantial number of Hispanics are either in the U.S. illegally or have not gone through the process to become citizens."
What the above article is saying is that white Americans are rapidly becoming a minority in the country they have controlled, and it has primarily happened in such rapid order by an illegal invasion across our southern border by Hispanics. It is like water coming through a dike: it starts as a trickle, but accelerates to the point of becoming a torrent. In other words, we should expect the trend to continue to accelerate, not to stay at an even rate of increase. The more that are here illegally will enable and embolden ever larger numbers to come here illegally.
New Zogby Poll: 58% of Mexicans Say Southwest U.S. Belongs to Them - Democratic Underground
"Americans and Mexicans have widely divergent views of border issues, according to a new poll by Zogby International. Zogby found that a large majority of the Mexican population believes the southwest territory of the U.S. rightfully belongs to Mexico, and that Mexicans should have the right to enter the U.S. without first obtaining U.S. permission. By contrast, Zogby's survey of Americans conducted within a few days of the Mexican poll shows a large majority supports reducing immigration levels and wants the military deployed along the border to protect the U.S. from illegal immigration."
Now I wonder which Church has the most to gain from all of this and has used it to their advantage?

Actually second and third generation Mexican immigrants are as likely to be evangelical as the rest of America, so it seems that the RCC has the most to lose. Hispanic immigrants have proven to integrate just as well as every previous group.
How do you define minority, especially when the majority of hispanics consider themselves white? My grandfather was a Croatian immigrant. He wouldn't have been allowed in the neighborhood I grew up in, which only allowed Protestants of Northern European descent in until around 1960. Should he be counted as a minority? Should I?
