Peter Schweizer — the president of the Government Accountability Institute and a bestselling author — sat down with Dan Ball to discuss Schweizer’s new book, The Invisible Coup, and his claim that immigration is being “weaponized” against the United States.
Schweizer argued that foreign adversaries, especially Communist China, are exploiting American policies to expand influence inside the country. A central focus, he said, is birthright citizenship, which he described as being used to build a future voting bloc.
“Our federal government has no idea how many people have become U.S. citizens this way, because they don’t put the nationality of the parents on a birth certificate. China has looked at this, and China itself says just among Chinese nationals over the past 13 years, roughly every single year, 100,000 Chinese babies have been born in the United States, who are then brought back to China, where they are raised,” Schweizer said.
“They’re the children of the CCP elite. They grow up in that system. When they turn 18 years old, even though they’ve never lived here, they have no connection with the United States whatsoever, they are U.S. citizens. And guess what? When they turn 18, they’re going to be able to vote. They’re going to be able to donate to political campaigns,” Schweizer added.
He also raised national security concerns about Chinese nationals training in U.S. flight schools, warning that this and other strategies could be used to undermine the United States over time.
“There’s an airbase outside of Merced, California. It was privatized. You’ve got a company run by Koreans and Chinese. They’re training in Northern California every year—about a thousand pilots, many of whom will go into the Chinese military. And they will be facing our pilots.”
Schweizer’s thesis? A long-term influence operation — one he says relies less on traditional confrontation and more on leveraging American systems against themselves.
