Immigration Researcher Jason Richwine Resigns From Heritage Amid Race Flap

Jason Richwine, the co-author of a study by the Heritage Foundation claiming immigration reform would add $6.3 trillion to the deficit, has resigned from his position at the conservative think tank.

He also wrote articles on Hispanic incarceration rates for a white nationalist website.

But seriously, these people are not your normal everyday ignorant racists, they actually go to great lengths to prove others inferior.

I keep flashing on this guys last name. What I get is: Rich Whine.

That is what reich wingers do, right?

I wish the whole kit-and-kaboodle of them would magically disappear from the face of the Earth.
