Illegal Aliens are not subject to our jurisdiction.
Sure they are. If they commit murder they can be so charged; if they earn a living and don't pay taxes, they can be charged with tax evasion. Those having immunity, diplomats for example, are not subject to our jurisdiction.

IMO. They are subject in the transitive verb sense but not the noun sense. As Senator Jacob Howard (co-author) stipulates a "person" born here from a foreign national is not a "citizen".
For instance, Article 4. Section 2, points out that Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges... etc. but A Person charged in any State with Treason, Felony, or other Crime,..etc.. In other words, citizenship is not a requirement in order to be "subject" to the law, being a "person" is.
