Schweizer: Immigration has become a weapon in our enemies’ hands


Immigration has become a weapon in our enemies’ hands. And birthright citizenship is one weapon wielded by China, our greatest adversary on the world stage.

Author Peter Schweizer appeared on the Charlie Kirk show to discuss The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon and the topic quickly moved to what the book calls “The Manchurian Generation,” a cohort of perhaps a million Chinese children who were born and may claim birthright citizenship in the US.

“China is using birthright citizenship, and they’ve created a model on an industrial scale to, I argue, subvert the country,” Schweizer told the hosts. The book reveals hundreds of surrogacy and birth hotels run by Chinese citizens in Southern California, and more elsewhere.

He points out that the US government has no idea how many people may have done this, but the Chinese do track it.

The Chinese government says that for the last 13 years, 100,000 Chinese women per year have done this. “That means you have about a million people in China that were born here – their parents flew here for the purposes of giving birth. Their child was born here and given citizenship, then flown fly them back to China where they are raised in CCP schools and get filled with government propaganda. Their parents are primarily from the Chinese elite. But when they turn 18, they’re going to be able to vote. They’re going to be able to donate to  political campaigns. They’re going to be able to get government jobs. It’s a massive, massive national security problem,” Schweizer tells the hosts.

He also shares that the Chinese government encourages this. “They’ve run articles in the People’s Daily, their major newspaper, telling members of the Chinese elite, ‘you can do this. You have a right to do this.’ And we are completely oblivious that this is going on.”

That is just one of many examples of what The Invisible Coup reports. Schweizer shows that foreign governments such as China and Mexico are using mass migration to build political influence, organize protests, and reshape electoral outcomes.

He points to Mexico’s extensive U.S. consulate network and alleges coordinated efforts to flip states politically. He also claims China exploits birthright citizenship and immigration loopholes like the EB-5 visa program to create long-term leverage inside American institutions. The discussion closes with Schweizer calling for full transparency on Epstein-related files and accountability for the Clintons.
