The Heritage Foundation is disavowing past recommendations regarding race, IQ, and immigration from Jason Richwine, the co-author of a recent study by the group claiming undocumented immigrants would add $6.3 trillion to the deficit if granted legal status. “This is not a work product of The Heritage Foundation. Its findings in no way reflect the positions of The Heritage Foundation," Mike Gonzalez, vice president of communications at Heritage, said in a statement. "Nor do the findings affect the conclusions of our study on the cost of amnesty to the U.S. taxpayer.” Richwine argued in a 2009 paper that immigrants should be barred based on low IQ, which he claimed would have the effect of keeping out many Hispanics in particular, who may have a "genetic" predilection towards lower intelligence. “No one knows whether Hispanics will ever reach IQ parity with whites, but the prediction that new Hispanic immigrants will have low-IQ children and grandchildren is difficult to argue against," Richwine wrote. He added that it may be advisable to couch these findings in less racially inflammatory terms for political purposes by referring to "skill-based" immigration. Richwine's Heritage report claimed immigration reform would balloon the deficit primarily because undocumented immigrants would be unable to improve their education and income levels over several generations.

Heritage Foundation disavows Heritage Foundation study; you just can't make this up.

You flying the US flag upside down is like Yukon whining that LP is going to hell. Why aren't you flying your own flag upside down, especially on a day like today?

You can not like my signature line if you want, but continually mentioning this fact has no effect on how long I keep it.
"Stupidity is the same as evil if you judge by the results."; Margaret Atwood, "Surfacing" If now is not the time to fly the DISTRESS! sign, when is? You should code the < blink> and off blink for even more effect. “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
Just so long as Neal doesn't cause me to pop another blood vessel by posting how inexpensive he lives in Equador, I'm OK with it. Godfrey Smith: Mike, I wouldn't worry. Prosperity is just around the corner. I agree Lod. I think Meanie is put out because the Azlan crowd somewhere did the distress mode of the upside down American flag, which is not disrespect to the flag, it is a communication of thought about peril and distress. I'm not referencing what Meanie is apparently getting at, but hey; it's all good. We do have a new flag for the Cascadia bioregion of Washington State, Oregon and Northern California though. Some want the U.S. out of Cascadia, but the flag has grown popular with many here in Cascadia: If Meanie wants a flag close to being mine beyond the Stars and Stripes, he can look there. I like it, but I'm not quite into succession from the U.S. at this point in time. "Stupidity is the same as evil if you judge by the results."; Margaret Atwood, "Surfacing"
