New York Times best-selling author and GAI President Peter Schweizer is promoting his new book, The Invisible Coup, arguing that mass migration is being weaponized to destabilize the United States, including through political organizing and foreign influence networks that extend beyond border crossings.
Schweizer laid out his claims in an interview with Rob Schmitt, crediting President Donald Trump with sealing the border but warning that the deeper issue is what happens after migrants arrive in the U.S.
Schweizer argued that migrants can bring political networks allegedly designed to undermine America, framing the challenge as more than enforcement at the border.
“These political networks are designed to undermine the United States. The book talks about Mexico in this regard. A lot of people think of Mexico is kind of a sleepy, corrupt neighbor. They actually use mass migration as a way to exert sovereignty over the rest of the United States,” Schweizer said.
In the interview, Schweizer also alleged that Mexico views migration as a way to “reclaim” territory, pointing to what he described as government-linked rhetoric. He further cited Mexico’s U.S. consulate network as politically active, alleging involvement in protests and partisan organizing.
Schweizer additionally warned of China’s influence and described what he claimed was a long-building alliance between Marxists and Islamist radicals, arguing that extremist religious leaders exploit visa programs to spread anti-Western ideology.
“They use mass migration. The vast majority of the radical Islamists or imams in our country that are preaching a lot of hatred in our mosques aren’t American citizens. They’ve come here on R1 visas. There’s a lot of fraud in the R1 visa program. And these are the imams that are preaching anti-Western civilization stuff,” Schweizer said.
Schweizer’s arguments are laid out in The Invisible Coup, which he presented as a warning that immigration concerns extend beyond border control to the political and ideological networks he claims have taken root in the United States.
