A common theme in immigration and settlement history through the centuries, is that (often persecuted) religious minorities, like the French Huguenots, Jews from all over Europe, Syrian Christians in the Middle East, tend to emigrate much more than the religious majority and thus be over-represented on this side of the pond.

Maybe, but I'm not aware of large-scale English Catholic immigration.
