Clearly you disagree with everybody else in the United States, including the Congressman who wrote the 14th Amendment and the Supreme Court which decided on this question long ago. The "jurisdiction" clause was included to exclude American Indians who were not subject to the control of the federal government. They were not all made citizens until 1917.

Perhaps you would like to read what the Supreme Court wrote long ago.

Read the case.

In 1924 Congress under the jurisdiction clause of the 14th Amendment passed the Indian Citizenship Act. Prior to that the offspring of American Indians, no matter where they were born, whether on the reservation or in NYC were not considered citizens.

That proves Congress has the right to define how jurisdiction will be interpreted and who qualifies under it, including children of illegals. That is btw exactly how the authors of the Amendment intended it to work.
