Heritage Foundation Immigration Report Author Resigns

Jason Richwine suffered criticism for previous dissertation about IQ of immigrants

The Heritage Foundation announced the resignation Friday of senior policy analyst Jason Richwine, co-author of a controversial report critical of the Senate's immigration reform bill. After Heritage issued the report this week, news articles pointed out that Richwine had argued in his Harvard dissertation that there was a long-standing difference between the IQ of white Americans and immigrants.

Heritage had said earlier that those views were not those of the foundation.
