We know illegal aliens are not "under the jurisdiction of the United States" and therefore their children aren't and thus the children are not born under the jurisdiction of the United States, consequently they are not citizens. It's very simple and clear as a bell, just as clear as the language in the Second Amendment that says the people have the right to keep and bear arms, a right that shall not be infringed.
