Its debatable if illegals even have birthright citizenship.
14th Admenmant author Sen. Jacob Howard of Michigan, expressly said:
This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers.
Original intent of the 14th Amendment
"The Court essentially stated that the status of the parents determines the citizenship of the child. To qualify children for birthright citizenship, based on the 14th Amendment, parents must owe "direct and immediate allegiance" to the U.S. and be "completely subject" to its jurisdiction. In other words, they must be United States citizens." Justice Brennans Footnote Gave Us Anchor Babies
