As controversy swirls, Heritage report author resigns

(CNN) – An author of a highly critical report on pending immigration legislation has resigned his post at the conservative Heritage Foundation after his previous writings, including a dissertation citing lower IQ among immigrants, drew widespread anger.

"Jason Richwine let us know he's decided to resign from his position," a spokesman for the Heritage Foundation said Friday. "He's no longer employed by Heritage. It is our long-standing policy not to discuss internal personnel matters."

Cain's proposal to do away with the current tax code in favor of a 9% corporate tax rate, 9% individual tax rate, and new 9% national sales tax has become the policy centerpiece of his increasingly popular 2012 White House bid.
