So you take that step, is that illegal immigrant a citizen now because they killed someone?

No. But they are certainly under our jurisdiction. They will be arrested, tried, and convicted accordingly.

If pregnant, their child, having been born in the US and under its jurisdiction, will be a citizen when born in prison.

They will not be sent home PNG like an ambassador.
