[edit:  Alternatively, if you choose to argue that illegal aliens are not "subject to the jurisdiction of the United States", under what authority can they be deported?]

They can be deported on the grounds of being hostile foreign agents in the country. Do we have jurisdiction over Iraq, Afghanistan, or Syria? No, but we can still take military action upon people in those places.

So any illegal alien deemed to be "non-hostile" cannot be deported? 

Obviously they can be deported. Even if you don't consider circumventing border security and US customs a hostile action, they forfeit any rights granted under US jurisdiction by refusing to enter and/or stay in the country legally. This also applies to those who overstay their visas.
