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

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.

Prop 187 has never been declared unconstitutional. Pfaelzer stayed the law contending that only the federal government had authority over immigration.

It has never been adjudicated by anyone other than Carter appointee Judge Marianna Pfaelzer. The Proposition was subverted when Gray Davis conspired with Pfaelzer to not have her stay appealed.

Arnold could have filed the appeal, but RINO that he is he was no more interested in seeing Prop 187 passed than was Pfaelzer and Gray Davis.
