Schweizer: The $1 Million Visa, the Chinese Spy, and the Law That's Still on the Books [WATCH]


GAI President and bestselling author Peter Schweizer has spent years following the dark money, shadow groups, and systems behind some of the most destructive policies in America.

In his latest book, The Invisible Coup, Schweizer exposes how mass migration is being used by America’s enemies as a weapon of mass destruction.

“This is importing voters,” Schweizer says plainly. “That’s the motivation of elites, particularly in the Democratic Party and the progressive movement.”

He cites research showing 85% of new immigrants vote for progressive Democrats — making mass migration, in his telling, less a humanitarian project than a political one.

But the domestic political angle is only part of the story.

Foreign governments, Schweizer argues, have their own reasons to push people across America’s borders. Mexico’s is perhaps the most brazen.

“Mexican officials speak openly about mass migration as a form of Reconquista,” he says. “It’s in government reports. There are a dozen quotes or more in my book from recent elected officials — including presidents, Mexican senators, and others — saying the purpose of mass migration is to do this.”

The infrastructure backing that agenda, he explains, runs deeper than most Americans realize. Mexico maintains 53 consulates inside the United States — and Schweizer says they’re not just processing paperwork.

“They are helping to try to turn states from red to blue. They’re open about it. And I quote them as saying that in the book,” Schweizer says.

More striking still: Mexico has sitting senators and members of Parliament who live full-time in the United States, tasked with representing Mexican nationals before their home government. “A massive erosion of our sovereignty,” Schweizer calls it.

China’s operation is more sophisticated — and, Schweizer says, more deeply embedded in American law itself.

The EB-5 visa program, created in the 1990s, allows foreign nationals to obtain permanent U.S. residency in exchange for a $1 million investment and job creation. The program’s architect, Schweizer reveals, was later identified as a Chinese spy. “The Chinese actually helped create a visa program in the United States,” he says.

The consequences have been significant. Ninety-five percent of EB-5 applicants are Chinese nationals — and permanent residency, Schweizer notes, confers the legal right to donate to American political campaigns, even for those who continue living abroad.

“There are tens of millions of dollars in political campaigns flowing into the United States from people who live in China,” he says, adding that those donations break roughly 80-20 in favor of Democrats and are “making a crucial difference in some of these congressional races.”

Then there’s birth tourism. During Supreme Court arguments over birthright citizenship, the U.S. Solicitor General told the Court that more than 500 Chinese tourism companies are openly advertising in China — selling packages designed to get pregnant women onto U.S. soil before delivery, so their children are born American citizens.

Schweizer’s bottom line: what looks like a broken immigration system may, in significant ways, be a working one — just not working for Americans.
