"By entering the country illegally, the invaders have themselves made a statement to the effect that, they are not under the jurisdiction of the US."

And they'd be wrong. If they aren't under our jurisdiction how is it do you think we detain them and apply our laws to them? I hate to tell you, but that's our jurisdiction at work.

So because they are not allowed to come into our country and murder someone with impunity, they are therefor citizens. Makes sense to me.
