There has been discussion in the past of the notion that the "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" clause excludes illegal aliens. They are, by definition, "illegal", so not subject to the jurisdiction. I'm not a lawyer, and I don't want to argue the point. Seems to me it COULD mean that. If it just means "gotta obey the laws," I don't think it could be used to exclude. If it means something more, then maybe if could.
I don't believe it has ever been argued in court. If it was, and reviewed up the line to the Supremes, eventually, they could possibly interpret it that way.
Frankly, I'd like to see it. That's what appeals courts are for: when folks disagree on what the words of a law mean, they get to step in and decide. It would be interesting to watch, and I'm sure whichever side lost would be screaming about "activist judges."

To answer the OP's question, pretty fucking good.
They voted overwhelmingly for Trump.
I know that white college "educated" liberals can't wrap their tiny little hive-minds around that idea, but most Mexicans who came here legally had to bust their fucking ass while their parents just made it by, and only if they really worked hard did they have a better life than their parents who came here legally did.
They don't want illegals here either.
