Best-selling author Peter Schweizer told 'Pod Force One' host Miranda Devine that foreign nations like Mexico and China have 'weaponized' mass migration to infiltrate the US and become 'political kingmakers.' Schweizer said Mexican officials have openly discussed 'reclaiming' US territory, while the Chinese government has exploited birthright citizenship to have thousands of babies born in the US to Chinese elites, giving them future voting power.
Why it matters
Schweizer's claims highlight growing concerns about the potential political motivations and implications behind the recent surge in US immigration, beyond just the economic and social effects. If true, it could represent a significant national security threat as foreign powers seek to influence US domestic politics through organized migration efforts.
The details
Schweizer explained that the current wave of migration to the US is 'not the migration of 120 years ago' and is instead 'weaponized migration that has a political purpose and a political direction and is organized.' He cited remarks from Mexican officials boasting about 'reclaiming' US territory and the Chinese government's practice of having pregnant women travel to the US to give birth, granting their children US citizenship despite having no real connection to the country.
- In December 2024, a top aide to Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said the Mexican population in the US had reached 39.9 million.
- A couple years ago, Mexican Sen. Felix Salgado boasted that 'Mexicans are in our territory: California, Nevada, Texas, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado and Wyoming.'

The takeaway
Schweizer's claims, if true, suggest foreign nations like Mexico and China may be exploiting mass migration to the US for political gain, potentially posing a significant national security threat as they seek to influence American domestic politics. This raises serious questions about the motivations and implications behind the recent surge in US immigration that go beyond just economic and social factors.
