First all, the Heritage Institute correctly points out that this dissertation is not the product of the institute, and that it is the institute's analysis of the impact that immigration reform will have on the United States that should be the focus of the debate. Rubio certainly has focused on the weaknesses of the institute's analysis, and how biased their analysis is.

Secondly, if Richwine's dissertation is an opening to any discussion, it should be a discussion on just exactly what IQ's measure and how they measure what they measure. His argument that immigrants have lower IQ's and so their offspring will have lower IQ's, is not scientifically, nor statistically valid. His assertion about a cognitive deficit is a presumption that IQ's measure cognitive ability, and only cognitive ability, which we know to be false.

Well the majority are from Mexico where education is not all that important.
Average education of your typical illegal is 5th grade.

It should be pointed out that the paper in question was a PhD thesis paper and based on the work in this paper, Richwine was awarded a PhD from HAVARD.

I have a sneeking suspision that the work is being mischarictorized.


Note that the Dr. Richwine was talking about hispanic immagrants and not all hispanics. Just those coming to the USA. He suggests that selection of higer IQ HISPANICS should be part of the policy change.

Exactly. Facts will be ignored and the usual racial crybabies will be out in force making their usual bs demands.

They are best ignored. Facts do not matter to the racial extortionists, TV time and emotion based lies are all they care about.

SO what is this bull**** study referencing to, exactly, since Hispanic cannot, is not, never was, and never will be, a race?
Even if it is not a race, it still has an average IQ.

Exactly. It has nothing to do with what race you are. Hispanic is a cultural and geographical term invented by the US Census Bureau. You cannot be "genetically Hispanic"

I think that is common in poor communities. It is not a matter of intelligence.
