Bachmann’s idea that NO immigrant goes on welfare is sweet. I wonder if it would pass constitutional (14th amendment) review.

Of course it would, the constitution only applies to LEGAL American citizens.

Bachmann is a loose cannon.

Perry just blew it.

No. That was addressed in Plyler vs Doe and when CA Prop 187 was declared unconstitutional in the 1990s. That's why Mitt saying "shut off the magnets" has no teeth. The Supreme Court has said magnets, like social services and K-12 education cannot be shut off under the 14th amendment.
