“If they are here illegally, they are not “subject to the jurisdiction” of the US. They do not fall under the 14th.”

When did they cross the border? His parents crossed the border. But the child did not. The child is not responsible for what the parents chose to do. Citizenship looks at the child as an individual, not the child based on the parents.

“no one should be able to keep the profits of their crimes.”

And we don’t try children for what their parents did.

“This should include jumping the border and attempting to defraud the US tax payers as well.”

When did the child cross the border if they were born here.

“Come here legally and the situation changes dramatically. It’s that “non-initiation of force, FRAUD, or theft” thingie that defines a libertarian.”

The child born in America is here legally and is entitled to citizenship same as everyone else born in America.

“How can you “strip” something that was never yours to begin with?”

Legally, they do possess citizenship same as everyone else.

“If you cheat during a race and are later caught, do you get to keep the awards and trophy?”

Say you’re running a race. Player a cheats, and trips up player b. You go on to win the race. Should you be stripped of your medal since you profited from someone else cheating?

You are working awfully hard to uphold birth right citizenship for illegals.

The child crosses the border in utero. They may not have had intent, but the law is still broken regardless.

Which kinda negates your last attempt at an analogy that doesn't fit.
