2. Headline does not match the quote.
The article is spectacularly badly written. The headline is:

Bachmann says she would 'not do anything' for children of illegal immigrants

The quote is:

A 19 year-old college student, identifying himself as Latino, asked what Bachmann would “do to” the children of illegal immigrants.

Bachmann responded that she is “not doing anything to them,” and described why she is against the federal government rewarding citizenship to the children of illegal immigrants.

Doing something FOR someone can be very different from doing something TO someone.
