find out more about liberal bias dot com today's new member of the day is corey
torres corey thanks for being a david packard remember we absolutely
appreciate it
this is a really uh... it's a little bit of a convoluted story but i'm gonna do
the best they can to explain it to you
the heritage foundation a conservative group put out a report
on the cost of the immigration bill that's currently being discussed
now one of the authors of that report is jason rich wine
the report was controversial in that
it contained a lot of negative assertions about immigrants per
specifically
hispanic immigrants and it it kind of caused a bit of a stir
it then emerged that jason rich wine wrote a graduate dissertation which was
premised on the idea
that latinos are inherently less intelligent than white people
and it was also revealed that rich wine again one of the co-authors of this
heritage foundation report on immigration
that rich white had ties to anti immigration groups
i'm not remotely surprised by any of this but it's compelling that the
information has come out think progress put together a really good article about
it and debt heritage announce that rich white has resigned their statement jason
rich wind let us know he's decided to resign from his position
he's no longer employed
by heritage now as more information came out about the dissertation
it's just amazing the ideas that this guy had
and the fact that
he became part of what's considered um on the right
kind of a mainstream right wing group the heritage foundation and i can drive
crazy within the right
uh... the dissertation argued according to think progress that's uh...
immigration policy should discriminate against low i_q_ immigrants in
immigration policy but that such discrimination should be masked in the
language of high-skill and low-skill immigration so the idea would be u_s_
the u_s_ immigration policy that that uh... lengthened eventually
is made the law
should encourage high-skill immigration to the u_s_ what they're talking about
is europeans and it should discourage low-skill immigration to the u_s_
what in this context is mostly latino immigration but also african immigrants
chin and kind of lower-class asian immigration right right
very very is enough okay because essentially what we're talking about is
uh... juz reinforcing the groups the the ethnic groups the a country of origin
groups
that already makeup
a large portion of the u_s_ rectum
tops open eventually we saw throughout this was
and the other thing that's that we also have to talk about is that
we do have research about
zena phobic views
political views and intelligence her all correlated
and it does it really support chasing rich winds ideas right research finds
that children with low intelligence are more likely to hold prejudiced attitudes
as adults for example not wanting dumb hispanics to come into the country
yeah setting that's really the connection i'm not at all surprised
right we often hear about the kind of this uh... projection projecting ones
reality on to someone else or just kind of opposite thing where you create
narrative that actually is the exact opposite of the reality
and again that seems to be the case here
yeah and had if you step back i mean
how would you even measure to quote skill level
of an immigrant coming in
i mean the you're looking at a name on a piece of paper that's part of uh... keel
india it says the idea of checking into uh... the other thing the time is that
skill is something which is lowered rates kit we actually have
it's an understand what he's doing by trying to actually kind of the racist in
xenophobic but skill is something that you learn and your aptitude for learning
skills is based on the other attributes and it's not really even a very good
uh... thinly-veiled uh... racist
uh... whatever
well it's interesting of
people we're talking about may be applying the rules that are similar to
what canada does which is like a points based system where if you have a
bachelor's degree discern point if you have a graduate degree get more points
uh... if you have certain job experience to get even more points if you speak
french you get more points if you have a certain amount of points you can get in
uh... and what's interesting is that
you know graduate degrees for example or a correlated with higher i_q_'s so the
question is
are you getting the higher i_q_'s because the people who do them have
higher i_q_'s are are they or is it learned to a certain extent i know i'd
keys to a certain extent are not believed to be learned right but
we have no problem i don't i don't have any problem with saying that you get
more points
and it's more likely that we're gonna let you know the country if you have a
graduate degree
it's not ok to use our q now certainly not but why is a question
uh... pat robertson
that's kind of a broader wider say if you don't like it but the reality is
that it's not that much different imagine that
uh... ninety nine percent of people with a p_h_d_
have an i_q_ of one fifteen or above brayton care
so what's to stop uh... you know what's wrong with saying you have to have an
i_q_ of one fifteen again and i'm not saying i agree with understanding how
would you argue
you retard you will the it you would argue in this way you would say that
i would argue at the same way that you argue skills just because you have
correlation between
altered limited let's back up only in certain countries does hayek u
lead to people
having
graduate degrees you can have people of all sorts of i_q_s from all parts of the
world
and because of factors external to aren't you
they may or may not
have any particular degree right
i would say i would argue a slightly different i would probably say
that uh... it's not ok to use like you because that's simple discrimination
whereas the other case you all our pricing
more education which were legal which will be useful to connie that's not to
say that someone with a ninety five i_q_ can't get that experience and be a good
potential citizen it's just so you can apprise someone who already has
experience i_q_ is not and certainly not the best measure but it's i think it's
the easiest
ended but and and and certainly in this context is discriminatory yes sir
