-- Subject to the laws not Jurisdiction. --

I'll restate my point with your remark in mind. I expect the court to conflate "subject to the laws" with "subject to the jurisdiction," and hold that children of parents who are here illegally are natural born US citizens, because that's what "subject to the jurisdiction" phrase in the 14th amendment means.
