George Will, Michelle Rhee, Mel Martinez, Jose Vargas all hype anti-American DREAM Act and mass immigration (Christiane Amanpour) - 07/03/11
George Will, Michelle Rhee, Mel Martinez, and Jose Vargas appeared on ABC News' This Week earlier today, and all of them together with host Christiane Amanpour supported the same basic policy of massive immigration. All the guests also supported the anti-American DREAM Act, a bill that would let the illegal aliens covered by it deprive some citizens of college.

2006: George Will supports amnesty, guest workers; misleads with false choice; "unlimited" skilled immigration - 07/03/11
On March 30, 2006, George Will offered "Guard the Borders--And Face Facts" (link), which was designed to support George W Bush's push for comprehensive immigration reform. Will misled his readers by engaging in the deportations false choice: he falsely claimed that we need to choose between mass deportations and amnesty when there are other choices. One other choice is attrition. Will also used...
George Will misleads about a root cause of California problems - 05/21/11
... pundit to pull the Fiscal Con is George Will of the Washington Post, who offers "Golden State blues", link. In the article, he misleads his readers by not revealing a major cause of high spending:
[California's supposedly high] tax levels are surely related to these demographic facts: Between 2000 and 2010, Los Angeles gained fewer people than in any decade since the 1890s, and Los Angeles and...
Rand Paul: noblesse oblige out, Randroid in (tax on yachts) - 11/03/10
... help the yacht industry rebound; George Will says of that "the subsidy to the wealthy would, to coin a phrase, trickle down".
So, there's a certain point to what Rand Paul says. However, what Rand Paul isn't saying is that after the yacht tax was enacted apparently some who wanted yachts had a neat trick: they'd buy a yacht in a foreign country and sail it to the U.S. as used and thereby avoid...
George Will: maybe we should make Puerto Rico a state - 07/18/10
George Will offers the (at the least) naive "Through Puerto Rico, the GOP can reach out to Hispanics" (link) in which he retails the suggestion by Puerto Rico's Republican governor that making that territory a U.S. state would help the Republicans. It's not clear whether Will is entirely sold on the idea, but in any case the only party helped would be the Democrats:
[Governor Luis Fortuno] wants...
George Will, blaming California's woes on liberalism, at least mentions role of massive immigration - 01/10/10
... those on the far-left.
Now comes George Will with "Liberalism is What is Killing California" (link), which is like the others except for this:
It took years for compassionate liberalism to make California's welfare menu contribute to the state becoming an importer of Mexico's poverty.
Now see this 2006 column in which he promoted Bush's amnesty plan (ignoring attrition) and this post. Why wasn't...
Sonia Sotomayor: affirmative action nominee for Supreme Court? Close to far-left Puerto Rico extremists? - 05/26/09
... Supreme Court were reversed...
George Will offers "Identity Justice" (link) and the Wall Street Journal offers the editorial "The 'Empathy' Nominee/Is Sonia Sotomayor judically superior to 'a white male'?" (link).
UPDATE 4: At least as of 2000, Sotomayor was a member of the National Council of La Raza. See the link for much more on that far-left group that continually supports illegal activity.
Immigration questions George F. Will won't answer - 06/19/06
George F. Will was last heard offering a false choice argument on immigration, supporting the Bush line that we have to either give amnesty to illegal aliens or conduct mass deportations.
Now, he's back with "Calculating Immigration Politics":
The cost of this, paid in the coin of lost support among Latinos, the nation's largest and fastest-growing minority, may be reckoned later, for years....
George F. Will on Tom Tancredo - 10/09/05
Will discusses Tancredo in a largely fair column entitled "The GOP's Border Guard". Unfortunately, he also works in a few myths and canards.
Tancredo knows his candidacy would be quixotic, and he worries that if he wins few votes his issue will be discounted. But he also knows that presidential primaries are, among other things, market research mechanisms whereby unserved constituencies are...
Conservatives somewhat mixed on Bush's inaugural speech - 01/20/05
Jonah Goldberg retreats from his Wilsonian observations back into orthodoxy:
...What conservatives understood then and what President Bush understands now is that America itself is a radical nation, founded on the revolutionary principle that self-government is simultaneously the best form of government and the most moral. And that lovers of liberty in all parties should seek to conserve that...
