During a special Founders Roundtable event with Breitbart Fight Club on Thursday night, Peter Schweitzer discussed key themes from his recent book. The work, titled The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon, examines how foreign entities and domestic political agendas converge through mass immigration, suggesting this has lasting effects on American governance.
Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlowe prompted Schweitzer to discuss the main points. The book looks into how various actors, including the Chinese government, the Mexican government, the Cuban regime, and the Catholic Church, have sought to sway or undermine U.S. systems. Marlow highlighted a troubling trend: a significant number of Americans, particularly elected officials, are either backing these initiatives or choosing to ignore them.
Schweitzer noted, “When it comes to what I call domestic collaborators, I’m not suggesting they’re in a room conspiring together; it’s more about a blend of interests.” He cited the Mexican government’s role in shaping U.S. immigration patterns as an illustration of how foreign intentions align with domestic partisan objectives.
According to Schweitzer, “What Mexico desires is greater influence within the U.S., and they are achieving this. Mass immigration, along with a reluctance to assimilate, actually benefits the Democratic Party because they have no interest in assimilation.” He further explained the political implications: “Initially, when new immigrants vote, they show a strong tendency to support Democrats—about 85% do. While this may even out over decades, Democrats gain a considerable advantage for many years.”
He argued that Democrats welcome this trend, understanding it works in their favor. The progressive faction within the party is particularly dominant and sees mass immigration as a means to not just support their agenda but also to weaken traditional American power through its weaponization.
Schweitzer pointed out, “This issue is critical, and I genuinely believe it’s why Democrats in cities like Minneapolis and Los Angeles fight against deportations. The individuals being deported often have criminal histories, including serious offenses, which they prefer not to see expelled from the country.” He wrapped up by stressing how pivotal this matter is for the nation’s future.
“This is central to understanding the future of our country. If we aim to succeed, we must confront and defeat the use of immigration as a weapon.”
Schweitzer, a New York Times bestselling author for five consecutive years, The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon has debuted at number one on the New York Times Bestseller list and is available for purchase.
