Oh yes, I’m absolutely with you on this one, ONLY illegals, that’s what he means.
Now, about the definition of the word illegal…

I’d say the definition is quite simple, if you don’t have a visa/permit/green card.

Trump is doing away with birthright citizenship which is enshrined in the 14th amendment. “Illegal” is whatever Trump will deem it to be.

To play devil’s advocate, he specifically means those who were born to foreign people staying in the US illegally.

The 14th amendment is very clear on this, and has been upheld by the Supreme Court on many occasions.
Unless you are the child of a a diplomat or an invading soldier you are awarded citizenship if you are born under the jurisdiction of a state I.E. US soil. Illegal immigrants are still under US jurisdiction and their children are awarded citizenship as a result.
