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

Justice Samuel Alito wrote that the Supreme Court's birthright citizenship ruling could have national security consequences. Alito did not specify what those consequences would be.

Alito's warning was issued in a written statement regarding the Court's decision on the scope of the 14th Amendment's citizenship clause.
