That is just the problem. An illegal alien is NOT subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. For example, that is why a sheriff in one county cannot arrest a person outside of his jurisdiction - his county.

That's the point.

The last clause of the 14th Amendment states, The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

Therefore, Congress has the right to define what subject to the jurisdiction thereof means.
