The Immigration Study By The Heritage Foundation Is Part Of A Bad Trend

This article provides more detail on the Heritage Foundation report that has been widely criticized.  It estimated that the current immigration reform bill would cost the government $6.7 trillion because many the immigrants would become dependent upon government support.  It even argued that new immigrants be given an IQ test before being allowed into the country.  The Heritage Foundation's new CEO Jim DeMint, who left his job as a Tea Party supported senator from South Carolina, was very proud of the study.  He hopes that it will help Heritage to raise more funds from his supporters.  More importantly, it is part of a trend among the think tanks.  They are becoming more partisan and more extreme in their research.
