The 14th Amendment does not distinguish between people who crossed the border lawfully or unlawfully - just whether they are subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Which people physically present in the U.S. almost exclusively are, including people who crossed the border unlawfully or overstayed their visa or are here on a green card.
