"We currently award citizenship to anyone born on US turf. I think we should deny that citizenship if the location of birth is the result of an illegal act."

2 points above, that IMHO need to be separated for discussion.

1. We currently award citizenship to anyone born on US turf

As do most nations around the world. We are not unique in this regard. I believe the logic goes along the lines of "do not make a child pay for the parents faults. A child born in a country has a birthright to be a citizen of that country".

If you are interested, I can send you links on US policy on Dual citizenship - that ought to make things a bit clearer for you.

2. location of birth is the result of an illegal act

Please clarify : is location the issue, or is "illegal act" (maybe rape etc) the issue ?
