Alito warns Supreme Court made 'serious mistake' that could have national security consequences

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito dissented in Trump v. Barbara, arguing the Court's 6-3 ruling upholding birthright citizenship for most U.S.-born children creates national security risks by granting citizenship to children of illegal aliens, temporary visitors, and 'birth tourists.' Alito claimed the majority misinterpreted the 14th Amendment and warned of potential exploitation by foreign nationals, citing hypothetical scenarios involving hostile individuals gaining citizenship. Michael Hough of NumbersUSA supported Alito's view, referencing Chinese birth tourism cases.
