They believe they are living in a godless country. Liberals are out to destroy America with their evil atheist ways. They believe liberals are destroying traditional family values. They believe liberals want open borders so all the immigrants will vote for them. They believe those immigrants are all gang members just waiting to kill God fearing Christians. They believe this is a Christian country. They believe abortion is murder. Finally, they believe Trump is the only one who can save the country.

Something like 63% of the US population identifies as Christian. That number is over 75% in Latin America.

If they really wanted more Christians, they'd welcome the immigrants. But that's just an excuse to cover for the racism.

No, because brown Hispanics tend to be catholic. That's the wrong Christian to a lot of the Bible belt
