The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon

by Peter Schweizer

Every day, ICE is arresting hundreds of illegal immigrants with a criminal record. They didn’t just come here. They were sent here.

Our debates about immigration revolve around what happens with immigrants once they arrive.
We need to start talking about who is sending them and why. For decades, establishment elites
sold us the story of immigration as a compassionate renewal of the American Dream within a harmonious melting pot.

But beneath that narrative lies a different Mass migration has morphed into the most powerful political weapon ever aimed at the United States—one engineered by elites at home and aided by adversaries abroad. Now Peter Schweizer, the bestselling investigative journalist of our time, is blowing the lid off this whole series of schemes,

• Mexico’s Election How Mexico’s 50+ consulates are running a shadow campaign to sway U.S. elections.
• CCP Spy $$$ The U.S. visa program designed by a Chinese spy that lets Beijing pour tens of millions into our elections.
• POTUS Foreign Voter How three American presidents minted unvetted “instant citizens”—including criminals—to stack the voter rolls.
• The Mexican president admits that mass migration is a tool to reclaim and conquer America’s Southwest.
• “Manchurian Generation” Ballot More than one million Chinese with U.S. citizenship who grew up on the Communist mainland will soon start voting in American elections.

Backed by years of forensic fieldwork and a trove of confidential documents and intercepted communications—linking political leaders, global NGOs, and even drug cartels—Schweizer detonates a political shock wave eclipsing his past bombshells, revelations that have sparked FBI probes and bipartisan reforms.

Urgent, shocking, and overflowing with national security implications, The Invisible Coup makes
America’s greatest political threat visible for all to see—and solve.

Reviews

[Jamad · Rating 1 out of 5]

Peter Schweizer’s The Invisible Coup presents immigration as a deliberate assault on American sovereignty orchestrated by foreign powers, domestic “elites,” and assorted shadow actors. The book frames these claims as investigative revelations, yet the overall structure resembles an accusation delivered to an already sympathetic jury.

Schweizer’s background is relevant. His previous books, including Clinton Cash and Secret Empires, and his editorial role at Breitbart, have placed him firmly within a combative partisan ecosystem. Past criticisms over selective sourcing and factual errors recur here in the form of sweeping inferences and a tendency to assume intent rather than demonstrate it.

The prose signals its stance from the outset. When the first page depicts:

“a haze of smoke drifted across the street where masses of protesters inciting violence waved foreign flags in the breeze… On the surface, these scenes painted a jarring picture of the consequences of an open border policy”

the reader is not being invited to consider competing explanations or viewpoints. Instead, they are being told what to fear and whom to blame. That rhetorical approach substitutes intensity for balance and assertion for evidence.

As a result, The Invisible Coup functions less as analysis than as a political brief. It may satisfy readers who share its premises, but those seeking rigorous argument or empirical nuance will find it thin, tendentious, and more interested in stoking alarm than in clarifying a complex policy debate.

[Patrick Duran · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is very disturbing. Schweizer has once again delivered an outstanding, well-researched book. He details the Reconquista movement that Mexico and several NGOs have been pushing for the past ten years. This is a movement that wants to "retake" the Western states that were lost by Mexico at the conclusion of the Mexican-American War. They say these territories were "stolen" by the U.S. when in fact they were conquered by the U.S., and they were also paid $15 million for the land (in 1848 dollars). They don't necessarily want to retake the land, but they are perfectly fine with controlling or destroying America through their citizens taking over the government and politicians. They will do this by mass migration in which their citizens would obtain dual citizenship, but never assimilate and retain their loyalty to Mexico. Pope Francis, who long had a Marxist reputation, was an advocate for open borders, and the Catholic church has moved to the extreme left in regard to immigration. Just another piece to the puzzle.

Bernie Sanders, the Marxist senator from Vermont, created Progressive International in 2018 to help assist in the influx of mass migration to the United States with the assistance of the drug cartels in Central and South America. The Marxist members of congress, who portray themselves as Democrat Socialists, have embraced our enemies in foreign countries in their desire to fundamentally change America and the Western world. There are additional threats from China, and the huge escalation of mass immigration from there (including birth tourism), the Muslim immigration explosion (which has totally changed the demographics of my neighborhood in New York), and the insane open borders policy Biden had during his horrific term. Stating all of this should not be considered xenophobic, but that is how the Left portrays anyone who expresses concern. It should be noted that the three years with the highest illegal immigration levels are 1996, 2012, and 2022, all election years, two of which were Clinton's and Obama's reelection years. The Democrats sure know how to create new voters.

This book was difficult to read at times because the disgust and alarm were overwhelming. The only factors that give me hope are the recent actions by this president, and the clear indication that there are surprising and positive developments in Central and South America. The fact that some countries are electing conservative presidents who are supposedly free from cartel money is a welcome change. It was recently revealed that Paraguay has welcomed an American intelligence presence, and Ecuador has allowed the FBI to open a permanent field office in their country. The National Party candidate, Nasry Asfuro, won the presidential election in Honduras in November 2025. Not to mention Venezuela. These are shocking developments in an effort to take on the drug cartels and their deadly influence. Let's keep our fingers crossed for a positive outcome.

The Invisible Coup

By Peter Schweizer

It is almost your civic duty to read or listen to this book. It will enlighten you as to “what is going on” with all of the protests and violence in our country.

Have you wondered why the left opened the flood gates as if we had no borders during the last administration? Why the social justice warriors wreaking havoc in the streets are mostly white liberals? Why do they take up the “cause” of everyone who is against the interest of the United States?

Mr. Schweizer lays it out pretty well. While some of it is shadowy and clandestine, most of it is not. The details can be found in headlines here and around the world. Apparently you simply need to know where to look, and more importantly know how to connect the dots. This book does that.

Most of it comes down to a couple of old adages which remain true.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

If someone tells you who they are, believe them.

Mr. Schweizer does not call for some major police action against the coordinated insurgency which has been active in our country for decades. He simply lays out facts so perhaps we will see what is right in front of us.

This book illustrates how an abundance of citations can mask, but not compensate for, fundamentally poor research. Despite a bibliography of 61 pages, the work is characterized by superficial analysis, selective sourcing, and a persistent effort to bend evidence to fit the author’s preconceived theories.

The prose is immature and imprecise, marked by conjecture and recurring misquotations that undermine any claim to scholarly seriousness. The result is not a contribution to the field, but a cautionary example of how quantity can be mistaken for rigor.

The book offers little value and does not merit further critical attention.

[Brett Martin · Rating 4 out of 5]

I wasn’t entirely sure how to rate this book. While I don’t agree with the idea that immigration is broadly harmful to America, I did find it thought-provoking, which I appreciate.

I’m sure some of the points raised have merit, but I have a hard time accepting the broader claim that most immigrants come here with harmful intent or as part of a coordinated effort against the country. From my perspective, that conclusion feels overstated.

I value books that challenge my thinking, even when I don’t agree with them, and this one certainly did that.

[Dayne · Rating 1 out of 5]

The book appeals directly to conservative readers who believe that "establishment elites" and foreign powers (such as Mexico) are deliberately using mass migration to reshape the U.S.. Many positive reviewers likely feel their existing concerns are being validated and exposed by the author.

The book has been heavily promoted in conservative media circles, including a nod from Donald Trump, which helps drive up sales and positive engagement from supporters. Not shocking but disappointing.

Criticized as propaganda by some, for easily discernible reasons, the book is framed as a "deeply researched" investigative work based on "confidential documents and intercepted communications.” This gives it a veneer of credibility that resonates with readers looking for validation of conspiracy-focused narratives rather than mainstream media accounts.

The book's thesis—that immigration is a "weapon" rather than a policy challenge—is designed to be emotionally compelling and to spark "political shockwaves". This creates a high, passionate engagement among readers who agree with the premise, resulting in 5-star reviews.

[Carolyn Kost · Rating 4 out of 5]

The Invisible Coup advances a deeply unsettling argument: that mass immigration in the modern West is not merely a humanitarian phenomenon or economic inevitability, but increasingly a tool deliberately used by foreign governments, domestic political actors, NGOs, multinational corporations, activist networks, foundations, and churches, especially the Catholic Church, to reshape electorates, overwhelm institutions, and neutralize democratic resistance.

Schweizer’s claim is not that immigrants themselves are the problem. On the contrary, the book repeatedly emphasizes that immigrants are often the pawns, the instruments, rather than the authors of the strategy he describes. What is at issue is not migration per se, but the political exploitation of migration at scale.

Chapter 1: Proof of Concept
Schweizer opens with a historical case study that serves as proof of concept. When Fidel Castro released thousands of criminals, intelligence assets, and mentally ill individuals into Florida during the 1980 Mariel boatlift, the episode demonstrated that migration could be weaponized as an instrument of state policy. While many Marielitos were ordinary Cubans seeking freedom, Castro’s deliberate inclusion of destabilizing elements showed that mass migration could function as more than a humanitarian release valve—it could be used to impose costs and chaos on a rival society.

[Aside: Obama deported 3M illegal aliens during his regime because he knew the research that the Marielitos decreased Black high school dropouts income by as much as 30%

Chapters 2–5: Contemporary Mechanisms
Schweizer then turns to the mechanisms through which migration is leveraged today.
At the state and quasi-state level, he examines how Mexico facilitates northbound flows as a form of political leverage and a form of Reconquista, reconquering its former territory. This may sound bizarre, but several Mexican presidents have explicitly stated that as their objective.
China exploits Western citizenship and family-law systems through birth tourism operations, industrial-scale surrogacy and IVF pipelines, and so-called “maternity hotels” clustered near U.S. hospitals. These practices, Schweizer argues, are not random or marginal, but organized, financed, and tolerated by U.S. officials.

He also describes the role of transnational NGOs (including churches), which function as logistical infrastructure, coordinating transport, legal assistance, housing, and political advocacy, often shielded from scrutiny by humanitarian language and moral prestige.

Domestically, Schweizer is unsparing. He argues that Western political elites have not merely failed to enforce immigration law; in some cases, they have deliberately violated it, creating demographic facts on the ground that cannot easily be reversed. Voter-registration loopholes, sanctuary jurisdictions that openly defy federal law, and administrative amnesty through non-enforcement all serve, in his account, to convert migration into durable political power.

I’ll distill the opening quote for the book from Cicero’s wisdom thousands of years ago

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly.”

Cicero’s famous warning about treason from within is reminder that states most often fall not by invasion, but by elite betrayal, the consequences of a society growing too weary to defend the norms it once considered non-negotiable, and the slow burning corrosion of law.


Chapter 6: Importing the Revolution
In one of the book’s most controversial sections, Schweizer examines ideological movements that explicitly frame migration as a civilizational strategy. One that features prominently is the Mexican FMLN. The other is factions associated with the Muslim Brotherhood, whose literature describes migration not as neutral movement, but as a form of long-term political struggle. As Abu Basir wrote, “Immigration and jihad go together. One is the consequence of the other and dependent on it.”
Schweizer’s point is not that migrants uniformly share such views, but that ideological actors openly articulate goals that Western elites refuse even to acknowledge.

Chapter 7: Progressives and Drug Cartels
Here Schweizer is careful to draw a crucial distinction. He does not argue that immigrants are inherently disloyal, criminal, or conspiratorial. Rather, he shows how systems can be exploited even when individuals act in good faith. Progressive political movements, organized crime, and cartel networks all benefit, often simultaneously, from weakened borders, and overwhelmed enforcement.


Chapter 8: The Catholic Church
One of the most fraught chapters examines the Catholic Church’s role. Schweizer argues that the Church has become an outsized institutional actor in migration advocacy, creating a vast infrastructure of charity, service, and political pressure under Catholic auspices.

He contrasts Karol Wojtyła (Pope St. John Paul II), whose anti-communism was forged under totalitarian rule, with Jorge Mario Bergoglio (Pope Francis), whose Latin American context shaped a theology deeply influenced by liberation theology, extreme inequality, violence, drug wars, ecological degradation, and massive internal and cross-border migrations. The question is not motive, but consequence. Drawing on Gustavo Gutiérrez’s definition of liberation theology as a movement aimed at “a profound transformation of the private property system, access to power of the exploited class, and a social revolution,” Schweizer situates Bergoglio’s pastoral priorities within a broader ideological tradition. [As a student at Fairfield U, a Jesuit institution, I was steeped in Gutiérrez, Boff, Segundo, Sobrino and other liberation theologians; this stuff I know; it's transformative...right into socialism.]

Bishop Daniel Flores of Brownsville, Texas, exemplifies this alignment when he argues that supporting the return of migrants to collapsed societies constitutes formal cooperation with intrinsic evil, comparable to abortion. Such statements, Schweizer argues, effectively sacralize one policy position while foreclosing democratic debate.

Pope Francis’s condemnation of barriers to migration as a grave moral evil, along with the Vatican’s 20 Pastoral Action Points [well worth reading!], envisions a borderless world (a dream shared by George Soros as well) in which migrants benefit from any pension plan available to natives. This from the walled city of the Vatican, which admits no refugees or migrants at all.
Clergy and religious often live like children, willfully ignoring the pragmatic consequences of their idealism.

This is compassion without discernment: a moral posture activated by political identity rather than by consistent principle, indifferent to the long-term costs imposed on the nation. What presents as mercy is, in practice, an incapacity to weigh costs, enforce norms, or apply standards consistently.

Not so the rebuked Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, who went so far as to accuse the Pope of “destroying civil society” through what he called an indiscriminate invasion of Europe. Within the same moral tradition, radically distinct judgments about migration coexist, but institutional power has increasingly aligned with one side of that divide.

I cannot resist juxtaposing the perspective of the Catholic Church under Bergoglio with that of the Dalai Lama: “There are too many refugees in Europe,” and this “makes it difficult in practice….Europe, and for example Germany, cannot become an Arab country….And morally speaking, I think that refugees can only be taken in on a temporary basis. The goal should be to return them and help them to rebuild their own countries.”

The Invisible Coup is unsettling not because it invents a grand conspiracy, but because it documents how ordinary bureaucratic incentives, ideological blind spots, and cynical political calculations can produce revolutionary outcomes without a single shot being fired.

The book opens our eyes, which then imposes responsibility.

Chapter 10: Fighting Back
Schweizer concludes with concrete proposals:
1. Ban dual citizenship. Foreign governments pay for their citizens to become US citizens
2. Improve vetting of immigrants and refugees. Do not reduce English language or civil knowledge requirements
3. Ban political donations from non-citizens. “Tens of millions of dollars flow into our elections every campaign cycle from foreign nationals and…cannot even be identified as such.”
4. Ban birth tourism and surrogacy as a means of citizenship. The authors of the 14th Amendment did not envision foreign nationals sending gametes to the US to “have a child born in an American womb…as a US citizen” (an organized effort of the Chinese elite class)
5. Expel foreign diplomats and close the consulates of foreign nations that are engaged in political activities inside the US, which interfere in domestic political affairs
6. Enforce the laws that restrict the participation of foreign nationals and foreign political organizations in American politics
7. Review student visas vigorously for radical foreign political affiliations and fields of study with military applications
8. Increase Congressional oversight of the US citizenship process (retain background checks, do not use immigration to fabricate new voters)

Whether one agrees with every recommendation or not, The Invisible Coup forces a reckoning with a question Western societies have tried to avoid: who controls the future of democratic nations—their citizens, or the systems that quietly reshape them?

There is only one thing schweizer is correct about. This is not a Capitalist’s Great Replacement Theory, but then he will still believe in it anyway. Anyway, same crap. You know, this book is not xenophobic paranoia and not against other people who have to assimilate into white culture, but then this book does all these things. It is just coded hatred of the other. A lot of nonsense.
Let’s argue out of fun that their are groups sent by Mexican government to undermine American values from within. Maybe it would not work if American values weren’t the same as we’ve seen so often: hatred and suspicion of the other, trying to cause suspicion of the other, all that.
Whatever. Just a book by a person and their movement.
Our brave little Petey mentions dangerous foreign political organizations funded by foreign governments to try change the American way of life, but he knows there are just a few tiny zealots without much impact.
Anyway we all know that America itself never dares to stoop so low and do the same things even more aggressively in other countries.
Just a book a person would normally laugh off, but unfortunately one dare not with this administration.
I think we need to find schweizer a new target for anger in his next book. He wants the royalties. Must find him something him and his buddies can really enjoy hating yet again.
I have heard hating Climate Change proponents is coming into fashion.
Or we could do the tried and true one. Fimd a Palestinian in America who has criticized something American and then spin him and his relatives into the worst danger ever.
Oh Petey somehow has forgotten about Russian influence.
Look whatever, hopefully will always be quite insignificant. Yes, know NY Times bestseller, but we can only hope enough normal, younger Americans will eventually get past his agendas.

Mr. Schweizer's recommendations for illegal crossings into the USA are:

1) Ban the practice of dual citizenship in the USA.
2) Subject immigrants and refugees seeking admission into the USA rigorous vetting and ideological
scrutiny.
3) Ban political contributions from noncitizens.
4) Ban birth tourism and surrogacy as a means of citizenship.
5) Expel foreign diplomats and close the consulates of foreign nations that are engaged in the political
activities inside the USA.
6) Enforce laws that restrict the participation of foreign nationals and foreign political organizations
in American politics.
7) Review student visas vigorously.
8) Greater congressional oversight of the US citizenship process.

[Fer Prz · Rating 2 out of 5]

The publication’s main argument is that several nations, drug cartels, the pope, and American politicians are using mass migration as a lever by which they can exert political control over vast portions of the U.S. population. But the intro specifically states that it is not talking about the great replacement theory. OK, noted.

There are some solid arguments because migration creates communities and communities vote to elect candidates that have their interests in mind. Campaign donations from non U.S. citizens or groups should be banned. Birth tourism does indeed sounds nefarious and exploitative of people and also of birthright. R-1 visas which are used for religious purposes also require a better process.

Latino communities are ever increasing and receive most of the attention in the publication. It is worth noting that they will naturally vote with continued immigration in mind. Is that bad? The author argues that it is indeed bad because Latinos are mostly left leaning.

I personally took issue with his stance on people born outside the U.S. that have pride in their country and heritage. I am Puerto Rican and it is known fact that ever since occupation by U.S., Puerto Rican national sentiment is frowned upon and in a no so distant past punished severely — see the Law 53 aka Gag Law.

[Angelica Gallegos · Rating 1 out of 5]

Yikes.

You have to be extremely misinformed and ignorant to enjoy this book.

If you’re looking for a book to help reinforce your racist viewpoint based on another man’s biased interpretation of real events—NOT factual evidence—this is the book for you!

If not, omg avoid this book. I lost brain cells trying to get through this painful read. This book is largely based on the author’s feelings of real events presented in a way to where anyone with MAGA-level intelligence will believe it’s factual evidence despite the obvious bias and lack of any actual, serious proof. It’s literally the author saying “here’s what happened but I have a hunch that this is actually what it means.” (~conspiracy theories~)

At one point he mentions that when asked about Trump changing Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America, Claudia Sheinbaum joked about taking back U.S. states that were previously part of Mexico. He posed this as a real, serious threat instead of the obvious sarcasm it was. Not to mention.. completely brushed over the fact that we actually have a power hungry dictator signing whatever he pleases into effect?

The main idea of this book is to instill fear into White America and motivate them to Keep America White! If white privilege isn’t real, why are you so fearful at the idea of becoming a minority?

Anyway, Google is free.

Statistics from U.S. government websites show that immigrants are drastically less likely to commit crime, don’t qualify for free college (insane myth btw), non emergency healthcare or social security benefits, and they pay aka contribute more money in taxes than they will ever receive.

When a white, blue-eyed descendent of immigrants writes a book demonizing all immigrants that don’t normally look like him, maybe ask yourself how reliable and unbiased the information is?

This book is a comfy, warm blanket that wraps and coddles MAGAts from real facts, allowing them to stay in the warmth and familiarity of their racist and misinformed beliefs. To do any real research would be uncomfy since it would not only challenge but debunk their whole belief system.

Don’t bother arguing with me. Argue with God at the gates of heaven when His border policy advises Him against allowing hypocrites and hateful people in😗

Peter Schweizer’s “The Invisible Coup,” works best as an argument as to how foreign powers are utilizing mass immigration as a weapon against the United States. Schweizer’s goal is to form a case of sorts, laying out the different groups worldwide that actively send or enact policies that send immigrants to the United States. These various groups possess different reasons for their support of immigration into the United States, but, in Schweizer’s view, it ends with a net detriment to American Citizens. Schweizer backs up his claims with a plethora of sources provided at the end of the book.

Schweizer’s view does not solely focus on one view of immigration. He covers the how and why Mexico is supporting immigration into the United States, with their claims that the treaty of Guadalupe Hildalgo was invalid and how territories within the United States actually belong to them. He covers the goals of China, a major competitor to the US on the world stage, who sees many of their citizens coming to the United States on student visas or on birthing trips. He touches on ideas of religious groups, like the Muslim brotherhood or even the Catholic Church, and how they encourage mass migration. Schweizer even describes how this mass migration has benefited certain policy makers within the United States through things like census changes. Schweizer’s main argument focuses on how “adversaries have used immigration to establish political networks in the United States that we must dismantle to preserve our national sovereignty.”

Schweizer presents a very convincing argument that holds up under some scrutiny, however, his book his weak when it comes to the presentation of counter arguments. Schweizer present a lot of the arguments for his side, but it feels like he explains his conclusion as if it’s the only possible one. He touches on some counter arguments, but I don’t think he takes the counter arguments to their full extent. His argument would be even stronger if he emphasize the counter arguments more and provided sources that further weakened those arguments. However, I understand why Schweizer did not include these. The book was already long and it likely did not fit the scope he was going for with this piece. Still, something more would’ve made this book more scholarly.

[Bailey · Rating 1 out of 5]

While this book looks like it is well researched, it stops just short of a lot of actual facts by omission and personal feelings. It talks about people immigrating as a way to take over our country, but doesn't focus on the fact that many people immigrating, from the exact countries listed by the author, were escaping totalitarian regimes, cartels, oppression, and/or violence. There's no look at any other POV. It feels like a conclusion was made and then they try to prove it, instead of taking full facts and then making a conclusion.

This is a book everyone in America needs to read. The massive illegal alien invasion is totally explained and it is frightening. The benefactors of this invasion include Mexico, Latin America, China, American politicians, cartels and even the Catholic Church. It's obvious that our politicians want this surge for votes also underhanded funding for their campaigns. The foreign countries despise Western culture and want to dismantle it. Capitalism must be destroyed. These countries were sending their worst to our country - their criminals and mentally ill. They emptied their prisons and their insane asylums. Many who came here are not coming for a better life that our country could afford them; no, they came with their beliefs and culture of the country they were leaving. They came not to assimilate but retain their socialist's beliefs and to infiltrate our country and destroy our Western civilization. To quote Abraham Lincoln ""If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide". These countries do not need to drop bombs on us to conquer us, they only need to come here in large numbers and destroy our country using our own laws to do it.

If Schweizer is to be believed (and his allegations are backed up with nearly 50 pages of citations in tiny print), our republic as we’ve known it is doomed. For generations, Americans were taught about immigrants fueling the giant melting pot that is the US. But circumstances have changed, with a large number of immigrants having no desire to assimilate into American culture.
The media has made much of Russia supposedly trying to influence American elections, completely ignoring the Mexicans doing the same thing. The Mexican government speaks openly of its desire to reclaim the American southwest, known as the “Reconquista.” Mexican officials in US cities work with activist groups to influence the votes of migrants, reminding Mexican immigrants that they will always be Mexican at heart.
However, this is not the only ethnic group with a focus on taking over the US. The most sophisticated mass immigration schemes come from the Chinese via birth tourism, surrogacy births (most of these children are raised in China, until of voting age), and the fraud-ridden EB-5 immigration program, where applicants can buy US citizenship but continue to live in China.
Further chapters cover the Islamist view of migration, used as a tool to destroy Western civilization; direct ties between progressive politicians, drug cartels, and human traffickers; the liberation theology of Pope Francis and his advocacy for unfettered immigration; the massive surge of immigrants into the US during the Biden administration, and even training Chinese pilots in US flight schools, with the $90,000 tuition paid by the Chinese government. Politicians are complicit in the process, seeing in these new immigrant citizens a way to generate new voters, conveniently ignoring criminal background checks and the English language requirement.
Truly, a scary and depressing book that every American should read.

[Robert Melnyk · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a short, but very powerful book which details how our foreign adversaries are using mass immigration and birthright citizenship as a weapon against us. And the scary thing is that they are actually being assisted by some of our own political leaders.

Countries such as Cuba, Mexico, and China are taking advantage of our lack of enforcement of immigration laws to flood our country with people who are opposed to our way of life, and also countless hardened criminals who their country is happy to get rid of.

The insanity of birthright citizenship is discussed in detail. China’s birth tourism industry has flourished in the past 15 years. China sends pregnant women to America just to give birth and then return to China with their newborn child. That child is now an American citizen. When they reach the age of 18 they are now eligible to vote in U.S. elections, but they have absolutely no allegiance to the United States. In fact, their allegiance is to China. In what universe does this make any sense?

Mexico has never fully accepted the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in which Mexico ceded the southwest to the US. They support a concept called “Reconquista”, the reconquest of the land ceded to the US in this treaty. Their aim is to retake the lands they lost in 1848, not by using guns and force, but by mass migration into our country by people who’s goal is not to assimilate, but to basically take over the land that they lost.

Nikita Khrushchev once said that American could be taken over without firing a single shot. This is how they are doing that. By using mass migration into our country, and by using the insanity of birthright citizenship. And to quote Peter Schweizer, “…opportunistic Americans have happily joined them in creating conditions for their own destruction.”

This is a must read for anyone who wants to understand what is actually happening with regard to immigration and birthright citizenship. Sadly, those who really need to read this most likely never will.

The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon, Peter Schweizer, author
In the last third of the 20th century, the leaders of the developing world began to quietly threaten the West with mass migration. This was the weapon they would use, if they were not able to accomplish their goals by other means. With the help of financiers, organizations and world leaders committed to their cause, they would flood the border and cross into the country to demand their rights. Migration was seen as a weapon to thwart and dismantle Western civilization. Over decades, this has actually been happening in front of the unsuspecting eyes of some, while it has been actively and quietly supported by others. This has happened across the ocean, as migrants have stormed the borders and thronged into European countries. It has happened here right under our own noses, for years. Many clandestine or “quiet” groups, that have kept out of the headlines, have actively engaged in subterfuge, sabotage and subversion to attack the Western world through this mass migration.
Names like Castro, Lula, AMLO, Ortega, Pope Francis, Henry Cisneros, Vice President Gore, the Clintons, Claudia Sheinbaum, and so many more, some you won’t recognize, keep surfacing as the behind-the-scenes leaders of this effort to use migrants to invade a country, change the demographic and bring about revolutionary change without “firing a shot”. President Sheinbaum of Mexico, would like to rename the USA and Mexico, Mexican America. Well-known American leaders, like AOC, Sanders, Biden, Tlaib and Omar, are all promoting open borders and sanctuary cities. These policies bring voters and help change the political climate of our country. Organizations grew up, like “Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán, to promote education about political power, resistance, and the preservation of one’s own identity instead of that of the host country. Leaders in the United States and Latin countries rose up to work against immigrant assimilation and our melting pot. They challenge President Trump and our Western civilization as they interfere in our elections and border security to bring about revolutionary demographic change without firing a weapon. Staged protests foment unrest and influence election results. Paid agitators cause chaos. Wealthy financiers like George Soros and MacKenzie Scott, the ex-wife of Jeff Bezos, flood these anti-West and anti-American groups with the necessary cash to stage rallies, protests and riots. Through meetings that are not widely publicized or objected to by the left, havens of safety were found, and migration was promoted from countries whose only objective was, and remains still to be, to take over and change our way of life. Mexico has almost accomplished that goal. Statistics say that when Immigrants become 30% of the nation, America will no longer be a white nation or be the country we know today. We have watched it erode slowly, over several decades, as the left has become more and more radical, using false virtue and redefined words to shame people into following their dangerous advice. Our language changed as words were used as weapons. What was once good, like closed borders and appropriate vetting of legal immigrants, was now anathema to those in the country who wanted open borders. Closing the borders to protect our national security was considered a violation of the immigrant’s civil rights, human rights and family rights, and the rights of American were disregarded. Those who objected to the changes in the laws had to be demonized. Breaking our laws had to be made agreeable. The population had to be brainwashed. The media was willing and able.
Law officers were demoralized and shamed in order for criminals to be free to break our laws. This all happened largely under left-wing leadership from Presidents Carter to Biden. We have been convinced to blindly accept criminals, shoplifting, assaults, riots and chaos in order to seem more virtuous, to seem compassionate, even when our behavior seems to be supporting unreasonable goals that are disadvantageous to ourselves and our country. For instance, allowing a certain amount of shoplifting, which is a crime, before we label it as crime, or supporting behavior that would bring about our own murder in Muslim countries, like the LBGTQ+ population who actively support Muslim terrorists. This behavior is the antithesis of sanity.
The Sao Paulo Forum leaders promoted open borders to emancipate and liberate all, to have one world, according to their views. Their policy liberated the drug cartels, the spy networks and those wishing to undermine the Western world even further. Pope Francis brought a rebirth of Liberation Theology which calls for the end of individualism and the beginning of the collective. Supposedly it merges the Catholic teachings with Marxism. The ideas of virtue and compassion have been twisted to promote our western culture as greedy and dangerous in an effort to destroy it. Pope Leo is as political as Pope Francis was, since he spent most of his religious life in Peru. He seems very anti-Trump and Western culture.
Most of the effort to use mass migration to change Western culture began in earnest with Trump’s election. He is outspoken, without a refined tongue, is not a supporter of Liberation Theology that uses the idea of liberation as religion, open borders or Marxism. Pope Francis shamefully alluded to Hitler’s rise to power on the day of his inauguration. Of course, he preferred Biden. Biden worked hand in hand with these revolutionaries to flood our country with migrants that were unvetted, unstable and unable to care for themselves. Biden’s administration organized “mass swims”, called illegals newcomers, and actively used words as weapons to manipulate the public, all while he insisted that he was unable to stop mass illegal entries. Neither was Vice President Harris. In spite of this, Trump was demonized, called a threat to democracy, Hitler and worse when he proceeded to immediately stop it, once he stepped back into the oval office.
The violent left-wing rhetoric led to assassination attempts, one that just occurred at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner, as I write this review. Still the Democrats will not stop their negative rhetoric that leads to so much violence and continue to advance their hateful messages to divide us. The illegal immigrants are definitely future Democrat voters, and from Clinton to Biden, their numbers have been added to the census which most certainly has altered our election results. The effort to open our borders, retake territory and fundamentally change America with liberal theocracy is pervasive, widespread, and has a definite purpose to fundamentally change the Western world. The rise of this movement can be traced back to Pope Francis and President Obama which pretty much explains why this information has not spread to a larger audience that might object to the country being overtaken and turned into “One America”.
The Church wishes to promote open borders because it will increase followers. Pope Francis believed people should move freely between all borders, except the Vatican’s, of course. He did not bridge dissent and expelled Cardinal Vigano for objecting to his policies. Obama supported open borders to strengthen the Democrat Party. Because of his background, he supported groups that also supported change in America, like the Muslim Brotherhood. He blamed most dissent in America on racism, xenophobia and white supremacy. It played well to his followers. Both Francis and Obama believed, and now Pope Leo has joined them, that having open borders will benefit the world, even though it increases drug flow and threatens our national security. It serves their ultimate goal of changing America and the Western world. The media that should inform the public of these efforts is decidedly left, and thus, has no interest in revealing the corrupt policies being pursued. The left has essentially figured out how to take over the country without too much of a struggle. It is a silent coup and the Democrats, their fanatics and extremists have joined forces with the most radical leadership from South America, Mexico, Latin America, China, the United Nations and the Muslim countries to advance this policy of open borders. It is claimed that the United States has no jurisdiction over the illegal or legal citizens who come here, because they remain citizens of their own country where their loyalty lies, as well as the host country.
Biden took this open border policy to the extreme, although it is now questionable whether or not he made the decisions without someone else guiding his hand. Using Immigrants to flood the census numbers, gerrymandering and violent rhetoric containing manipulative language, the left gained representation and influenced and controlled many elections, ultimately turning red districts blue. Using the supposed non-profit, charitable organizations that supported open borders and policies antithetical to those supported by our Founding Fathers, they sponsored and helped organize staged protests and rallies in favor of the very people who will eventually overthrow our country. There are very rich people and organizations behind this effort. One has recently been indicted for hiring agitators to create violent and often dishonest narratives, to support protests to challenge Republicans so that Democrats can win elections. This organization, called the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), hired members of the KKK and other white supremacy groups to falsely cast blame upon Republicans for being racist and fascist. Perhaps these agitators think they can stop the whirlwind they have started from knocking on their own doors, but we all should have learned from the Holocaust, they are not immune. A tornado has its own mind, and it is already sweeping over our society with the sanctuary cities, the Anti-ICE demonstrations, the promotion of Trump as a destructive fascist, chaotic and unfit leader, and other destructive messaging. This dishonest rhetoric has caused unrest in America.
Mexico hopes to reclaim land that was originally theirs. They have sponsored organizations and citizens to carry out their dream by influencing our elections; by allowing their citizens to cross the border illegally and then demanding they maintain loyalty to Mexico. Are their leaders influencing our elections? Most certainly! Using their organizations, they lobby to promote their leftist, woke views in order to satisfy their stated agenda which is to fundamentally change and reconquest America. Americans do not seem willing to see that truth. Under the guise of being virtuous and Christian, welcoming the stranger, supporting the poor, etc., they are allowing our country to be taken over. We must wake up soon. It started with Clinton and continued with Biden and Obama and then Biden’s auto pen and his lack of domestic policies to protect the country. Illegals flooded the country from all over the world, birthright citizenship exploded, chain migration grew beyond numbers ever recorded before. Democrats have watched their country’s values be undermined, with glee to satisfy their Trump Derangement. They have watched criminals cross into our country without proper vetting. They have witnessed their protests as they demand the rights of citizens, though they are criminals in our country. What has been done by the left to stop them? NOTHING! They have sent the message that they are the virtuous, and those that object lack compassion and are merely greedy. While they are supported by the rich, they demonize them and face no objection. They have caused our welfare rolls to explode and our resources to go to those least deserving who are breaking our laws. Those who deserve our benefits are now even more unable to get them. Who is blamed by the media? The innocent Republicans.
Biden filled the streets with the homeless and the unstable. They committed crimes, shoplifted, assaulted and vandalized our citizens with abandon. He created economic chaos by reversing all of Trump’s policies that made America safer and he used the Pandemic to increase his power. This effort by outsiders, aided and abetted by Democrats, to take over America, is no longer insidious; it is now out in the open, and the Democrats are blindly letting it happen. If the Republicans can’t wrest control, from Mexico, Latin America, from China and the Vatican, from the Muslim world and even the United Nations, all efforts will continue to be directed toward the idea of radically changing America and the Western World into a nation run by Marxists and migrants. Francis was the first Latin Pope. He, like Obama, wanted to change our world. His protégé, Pope Leo, the first American Pope, is a tireless supporter of the same policies. He spent most of his life working for the underserved in Peru. He has become more political than Francis. He supports open borders and actively criticizes Trump while ignoring the genocide in Africa. If these efforts succeed, our way of life will end.
The Organizations that have proliferated throughout America have helped to promote open borders and mass migration and those that have terrorized us and the rest of the world. These forces only want to reform Western culture, changing it to their ideal view of the world. They allow our enemies to infiltrate our country and plot to destroy it from within. The Chinese run a baby mill to get American citizenship, the church is sponsoring citizenship for anyone who wishes to come to America, chain migration allows the unvetted to enter, birth tourism, rules about pregnant women and children are increasing citizenship rolls with people who want to bring down our country, and fanatic Islamists are attacking with abandon. Those who sponsor open borders have welcomed those who engage in human trafficking, those who allow the drug trade to thrive, those who refuse to acknowledge criminal behavior and those who want to destroy the Western culture and way of life. The Democrats seem to be working with these enemies of America.
In Mexico, a poetry prize was awarded to Jose Ruiz who wrote a manifesto titled “America is Ours”. Like America’s publishing industry and media world, the message is camouflaged and manipulated using the flags of civil rights, human rights, refugee rights, etc. President Zedillo, of Mexico, once declared that America had no jurisdiction over Mexican immigrants because they are still Mexican citizens and thus, Mexicans. There are many organizations that share the hate for our Western civilization and work together to thwart the real American Dream, like the Party for Socialism and Liberation, PSL, that holds rallies against Trump, the World Meeting of Popular Movements, (WMPM), that works toward cultural revolution, Pico, La Red, that works against immigration officials like Homeland Security and ICE, Hias that offers help to the illegals and counsels them on how to get around the rules, Union del Barrio, Hands Off, FMLN, Democratic Socialists of America, Progressive International founded by Bernie Sanders, Hermandad Mexican, the Muslim Brotherhood, the hidden group called The Palestinian American Congress Group, that our own Tlaib is a member of and supports and then there is the Somali corruption supported by our own Ilhan Omar.
At first, I was not sure why this book had not reached a larger audience or received more attention, because I believed it had honestly exposed so many policies, organizations and billionaires, especially MacKenzie Scott and George Soros, that have actively worked to undermine our Constitutional Republic and turn it into a Marxist haven for the enemies of the West, but now, I understand completely why it is getting so little publicity. It is not only the Democrats and others mentioned in this book that are working against the West, it is the media that has the loudest voice, the media that is promoting false narratives and is populated largely by Democrats. They do not want you to read this book because it will expose their collusion and clandestine effort to really change America. They have, for decades, worked to brainwash and indoctrinate American citizens. It has worked well for them.
To stop the American takeover before it is too late, this book should be required reading.
