Bestselling investigative journalist Peter Schweizer joined the NewsBusters Podcast to explain how mass immigration is being used as a strategic weapon against the United States.
Drawing from his new book, The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon, Schweizer details how China, Mexico, and Islamist networks controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood are exploiting US laws, influencing elections, and undermining national sovereignty—often in plain sight.
“We’ve been having a necessary debate in this country about immigration, what the level should be and how to seal the border… The conversation has mostly been about its effect on the economy, our culture, and on crime in our streets. It’s very important to have that debate,” Schweizer says.
“This book is not about immigration. Ultimately, it’s about weaponized migration and how foreign actors and people on the domestic scene see migration as a full-on weapon to use against American civilization,” Schweizer tells the hosts. “Those are not things that I’m saying. I quote people from China, from Mexico, from the Muslim Brotherhood as saying explicitly that. So this is about sort of the deployment of migration as a weapon against the United States.”
Schweizer reads actual quotes, contained in the book, from Mexican government officials about how they believe they are “reconquering” lands lost to the US after the 1848 Mexican American War. One quote, from a senior Mexican senator and (the ruling) Morena Party boss, is instructive: “Mexicans are in our territories — California, Nevada, Texas, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado and Wyoming. We’re going to take back the territory that was stolen from us,” the quote reads.
“They do it through their 53 consulates,” Schweizer explains. “They get involved in our politics, helping Democrats win, trying to defeat Republicans. They’re involved in organizing anti-ICE protests. But they also have this weird system they’ve set up where there are elected senators and members of their parliament — the Chamber of Deputies — that live full time in the United States. And their job is to represent Mexicans living in the United States, in the Mexican parliament,” Schweizer tells the show hosts.
