> the Wong Kim Ark decision was interpreted to include children of non-citizens as well

Non-citizens, yes, but foreign subjects who were compliant with US law at the time.

I believe the scope of this decision will be limited to children born on US soil to non-citizens who entered the country illegally.

How will this be enforced? Where are your parents papers right now? What about their parents? Seems like an easy way to criminalize and deport literally anyone with zero pretext.
