VRWC sock-puppet/propaganda-mill Heritage slapped for eugenics/racist/white supremacist anti-Hispanic author of anti-immigration report
Author Of Heritage Immigration Study Resigns Amid Racism Scandal
Jason Richwine, a coauthor of the Heritage Foundation’s report on the cost of the current immigration bill, has resigned after it emerged that his graduate dissertation on immigration was premised on the idea that Latinos were less intelligent than whites.The controversy, which began after The Washington Post’s Dylan Matthews unearthed the dissertation on Latino intelligence, forced the conservative think tank into emergency damage control for the remainder of the week, when it emerged that Richwine had ties to extreme anti-immigration groups. On Friday afternoon, Heritage announced that Richwine has resigned. Heritage’s statement:
Richwine’s dissertation argued that immigration policy should discriminate against low-IQ immigrants in immigration policy, but that such discrimination should be masked in the language of “high skill” and “low skill” immigration. The Heritage report, which had been widely panned on both the left and right, argued that US immigration policy should encourage high-skill immigration into the United States.
Jason Richwine let us know he’s decided to resign from his position. He’s no longer employed by Heritage. It is our long-standing policy not to discuss internal personnel matters.
The arguments linking race and IQ in Richwine’s dissertation fit into a longstanding conservative tradition. Many major anti-immigration groups have some connections to racist pseudoscience.

if they get the near 70 votes they want, the house will pass that , no doubt about it. ryan will have to try and regulate the base, and probably get it passed on a vote along party lines with mostly dems passing it. thats probably the way they can do it since many republicans worried about 2014
Don't be so certain about that.
If republicans vote yes on such measures, I think it is likely democrats will take the house in '14.
Don't underestimate angry conservatives and angry tea party voters. They will oust republicans voting yes in a heartbeat, and pick up the pieces later.
the republicans are pretty damn safe with the gerrymandering they did. gun control>>>>>immigration.
dems have no shot at the house because of that.
Don't underestimate angry voters.

Repug base will never vote Dem to punish the Repugs. At best/worst, the extremist base will not vote.
extreme gerrymandering, extreme voter suppression, voting restrictions will keep the Repugs in power in red states, no matter what.
