I believe the amendment talks about under the jurisdiction of a country. Entering illegally means you are still under the jurisdiction of your home country so your child would be as well. It was never intended for those that broke the law to enter the country. It was intended for slaves that were brought here against their will. No way the original writers could have envisioned it being used this way. The good thing about Trump's EO is that is causing a conversation and will force it to be taken through the courts. Once the courts has its say then a discussion about adjusting the constitution can begin. That will be difficult, as it should be, but that is how these things start.
