[ARE SOLE]

I find it hard to swallow that we should allow access to consular officials by those that are in our country illegally.

I'd cite this international norm is further proof that the illegals do not fall under the jurisdiction of the US and their kids cannot be US citizens.

Quite the opposite--if we can try them for crimes they commit here, they are "subject to [our] jurisdiction." The only people born here who do not become citizens are the children of diplomats, because diplomats have diplomatic immunity and cannot be prosecuted for violating US law.
