The debate over illegal immigration is healthy but leaves a lot out.
“I felt we were missing that mass migration, what I call ‘weaponized migration,’ is actually a subversive act. It’s a form of subversion,” said author Peter Schweizer on the Dinesh D’Souza show. “That’s not so much my words. Those are the words of these foreign powers themselves.”
Schweizer’s new book, The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon, spent three weeks as the number one New York Times bestseller list. He and D’Souza unpacked the themes of how immigration has been turned into a clash of civilizations in the US.
“What we’re seeing on our streets when we see Mexican flags or Palestinian flags is not just some radical student or activist that decides they’re going to show ethnic pride and wave this flag,” Schweizer said. “It is actually a concerted effort by foreign actors, foreign governments, foreign organizations like the Muslim Brotherhood, who work in conjunction with domestic forces in the United States. I’m not suggesting they sit down and conspire, but it’s a confluence of interests. The radical left in the United States has this massive disdain for our country, and these foreign governments and foreign movements share that disdain.”
Schweizer researched the book for two years and was surprised how the migrant waves through the southern border during the Biden administration echoed what he describes as the prototype for the tactic – the 1980 Mariel Boatlift concocted by Cuba’s Marxist dictator Fidel Castro.
“What seemed like people fleeing communist Cuba on boats was weaponized by Fidel Castro,” Schweizer said. “He seeded the 125,000 people that eventually came to the United States through the Mariel boatlift with psychopaths. He opened up the mental hospitals, put them on boats, with criminal gangs, with intelligence officers, and they ended up wreaking havoc in the United States.”
“In the summer of 1980, when Fidel Castro was doing this, he went to Managua, Nicaragua, to celebrate the first anniversary of the Sandinista victory in Nicaragua. And with him there were Daniel Ortega, who is still the president of Nicaragua today, and [Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva] Lula, who is now the president of Brazil. And he recounted to them the great successes of the Mariel boatlift,” Schweizer explained.
“One of the themes of the book is they learned from that lesson, and they replicated that lesson, particularly during the Biden administration, but they did it on a grand scale,” he continued. “Not 125,000 people. More than 10 million people.”
As the 35 minute interview continues, Schweizer exposes Mexico’s elected officials who live fulltime in the United States, China’s birth tourism exploitation creating more than one million ‘birthright citizens’ who are raised entirely abroad but will become eligible to start voting in American elections in 2030, and the political left’s deliberate “voter mill” strategy. This , he argues, represents civilizational warfare, where migration becomes a weapon more effective than military strikes.
