The harshest bill would deny welfare and other benefits even to the U.S.-born children of illegal aliens — rights supposedly given them under the 14th Amendment.

Guess I wasn't aware the 14th Amendment granted the right to welfare.

14th Amendment

U.S. Constitution - Amendment 14

Amendment 14 - Citizenship Rights

1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

I'm not for illegal's, but this passage gives their anchor babies the right of US citizenship, and the ability to file for welfare to support said anchor baby.
