Peter Schweizer’s new book, The Invisible Coup, rips the lid off a danger too many in Washington pretend does not exist: mass migration is being wielded as a political hammer against the American people. Released January 20, 2026 and published by HarperCollins, Schweizer’s investigation rocketed into bestseller lists and is commanding the national conversation for good reason.
Schweizer’s central claim is straightforward and terrifying — influential domestic elites and foreign powers have not only exploited our compassionate immigration system, they have weaponized it to shift votes, influence policy, and hollow out national security. His team traces money flows and communications that point to coordination between political actors, NGOs, and hostile states, forcing Americans to confront an ugly strategic reality.
The book names names and institutions, alleging, for example, that foreign consulates and political operatives have been used to mobilize migrants in U.S. cities to sway local and national politics — charges that have predictably drawn denials from the implicated governments. Mexico’s president has pushed back on Schweizer’s reporting, but the questions raised about consular activity and political organizing on American soil deserve serious, not dismissive, answers.
One of the most chilling revelations is how the Chinese Communist Party allegedly uses student and training visas to build strategic advantages, including flight training programs inside the United States that could bolster Beijing’s military capabilities. Schweizer documents how our openness and regulatory lapses are being manipulated to train thousands who may later serve foreign objectives, a national-security headache that should unite common-sense Americans across party lines.
The book also unpacks uncomfortable alliances — excerpts show how radical Islamist networks and far-left actors can converge tactically to erode Western institutions, exploiting immigration pathways to seed ideological influence. Whether you agree with every assertion Schweizer makes, the pattern he describes is worthy of scrutiny and urgent policy discussion from a nation that values sovereignty and self-preservation.
Conservatives should welcome this investigation because defending the rule of law and the integrity of our nation is not a partisan hobby, it’s a duty. We must demand transparent oversight of visa programs, stricter vetting of foreign training initiatives, and accountability for any official or foreign entity found to be meddling in American civic life. Now is the time for principled action: secure the border, audit the programs Schweizer exposes, and stop giving our adversaries and their allies the openings they exploit.
Peter Schweizer’s reporting is a wake-up call to hardworking Americans who love this country and expect their leaders to protect it. Read the book, demand hearings, and insist on lawmakers who put national defense and constitutional order above cheap political gains; the future of our republic depends on it.
