Feb. 27, 2026 – At a time when immigration enforcement dominates mainstream media narrative and headlines, including stepped-up arrests and deportations of illegal immigrants with criminal records, bestselling investigative journalist Peter Schweizer is urging Americans to look beyond the border itself.
In his latest book, The Invisible Coup, he says the real story is not simply who is entering the United States, but who may be facilitating, encouraging, or benefiting from their arrival. The book went immediately to the top of the New York Times Bestseller List when it was published Jan. 20.
Schweizer’s position is that the mass migration we have seen under Democrat administrations has evolved into a strategic political and geopolitical tool. Rather than viewing immigration purely as a humanitarian or economic issue, it has become a serious national-security concern, shaped by foreign adversaries and enabled by powerful domestic Soros-style elites over decades. It is a shocking thesis, but Schwizer’s book methodically builds toward it through document-based reporting, historical analysis, and a prosecutorial narrative style that readers of his earlier works will recognize.
The book explores allegations that Mexico has engaged in covert efforts to shape American political outcomes, that a US visa program was influenced by a Chinese intelligence-linked figure to funnel foreign money into US politics, and that multiple presidential administrations adopted policies that effectively accelerated citizenship in ways that reshaped voter rolls.
Schweizer also examines what he describes as China’s exploitation of American birthright citizenship laws through organized birth tourism operations, as well as the role of global nonprofit organizations and criminal networks in facilitating migration flows that carry political consequences.
As with his previous bestselling investigations, such as Clinton Cash, Secret Empires, Red-Handed, and Blood Money, Schweizer’s book is the result of years of research and source development, and he has a track record of investigations that have triggered congressional inquiries.
What distinguishes this work from more traditional immigration analysis is that he does not focus on border chaos, humanitarian strain, or labor-market effects, but asks the broader strategic question: Who benefits from large-scale migration into the United States? By centering that question, he attempts to move the debate from border management to geopolitical strategy: Foreign adversaries, particularly China, are exploiting structural vulnerabilities in US law, and American political figures have either ignored or enabled the consequences.
The book arrives at a moment when immigration enforcement, election integrity, and foreign interference dominate national political discourse.
Readers who view immigration as a national-security vulnerability will likely find reinforcement in Schweizer’s conclusions. Those who see immigration primarily as a humanitarian or economic issue may view the thesis as overstated or politically charged.
Schweizer is sounding an alarm, revealing how Americans have been manipulated into debating the surface-level symptoms while ignoring deeper structural forces.
One thought on “Book review: The Invisible Coup – How foreign powers have weaponized immigration”
Mr. Schweizer’s thesis is not shocking at all, at least not to those who have been paying attention and are not addicted to the pro-globalist propaganda from the corporate media and their shills. It is in fact self-evident and inarguable.

But the usual naysaying trolls like Evenly Singed and Little Hans will, of course, try to deny it, as they routinely attempt to deny reality. They are radical leftist extremists — denying reality is what they do.
