New Bachmann video targets Perry on immigration

Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann doesn't name Rick Perry in her newly released video, but she takes issue with the Texas governor for suggesting that conservatives who don't favor giving education benefits to children of illegal immigrants don't have a heart.

Bachmann also goes after Perry for opposing the construction of a fence along the entire U.S.- Mexico border. Since Perry got into the race Bachmann's standing in most polls has plummeted. Bachmann has also criticized Perry for his 2007 gubernatorial executive order mandating the HPV vaccinations for pre-teen Texas girls.
