Excerpts from investigative journalist Peter Schweizer's new book "The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon" examine the role of China and Mexico in encouraging illegal immigration to the United States and the allies on U.S. soil with whom they are working.
Editors Note: The following are excerpts from award-winning investigative journalist Peter Schweizer's new book "The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon."
The book examines the role of China and Mexico in encouraging illegal immigration to the United States and the allies on U.S. soil that they are working with.
These excerpts are gleaned from the chapter titled "Mexico: Organizing Militancy in the US."
More than 60 people gathered in the white brick, two-story building on the west side of Oklahoma City in late May. It was hot, but not because of the Oklahoma weather. America was amid the heated 2024 presidential election. Among other subjects, the group was talking strategy about American politics, but in an unusual place.
While they were in Oklahoma, they were in the Mexican consulate. Mexico had a lot to lose if the wrong person won the US presidential election in November.
The group included Mexican diplomats from consulates across the United States, including Phoenix, Little Rock, Los Angeles, Atlanta, San Francisco, Orlando, Chicago, Boston and other cities. They had brought guests, many of them activists. Mexican officials had flown in from the Foreign Ministry in Mexico City.
Mexican politicians were on hand, too, to offer advice and encouragement to the US-based political activists who had gathered. This would be a conversation about how “to positively influence the country’s [US] policy for the benefit of Mexican communities.”
The stated purpose of the meeting was to emphasize “citizen participation and collective action” inside the United States and to “develop a solid plan of action” to fight back against immigration restrictions, specifically those pushed by Donald Trump.
Cristina Planter, then director general for North American Political Affairs at the Mexican Foreign Ministry, addressed the group. There was even a message from the Mexican foreign minister, Alicia Bárcena, emphasizing the importance of the meeting.
This meeting was a foreshadowing of what would become an outrageous Mexican government intrusion into American politics, including a cast of participants selected to influence the election.
Among those attending the gathering were activists from across the United States. Some had dual loyalties: they lived in the United States, but they worked for the Mexican government as advisors and even elected members of Parliament.
Karina Ruiz, an immigrant rights activist in Arizona and head of the
Arizona DREAM Act Coalition, was there to emphasize “the importance of
voting and knowing local representatives” in the United States.
While
she lived in the United States and worked as a political activist, she
was about to take up a position in the Mexican Senate as a member of the
ruling Morena Party. She is the first member of their senate to
represent Mexicans living outside of Mexico.
Ruiz is a Mexican citizen, having come here illegally as a teen, but she’s been protected by DACA. She had pledged, “Now from this side of the border we are going to create conditions and support the agenda of Dr. Claudia Sheinbaum [the recently elected Mexican president]."
Ruiz has led protests in both Arizona and Washington, DC, sometimes wearing a “Citizenship 4 All” headband.

Had this mixing of Mexican diplomats, elected officials, and American activists plotting political action together in America’s
heartland
been made public, there would have been howls of protest at Mexico’s
meddling in American internal affairs. But they proceeded quietly,
behind closed doors. After all, foreign countries are prohibited from
interfering in American elections by law and also by conventions of
foreign diplomacy.
Yet, the consul general of the Mexican Consulate in Oklahoma City and members of the Foreign Ministry sat in and watched the
discussion unfold on “collective action” in the United States.

After Trump returned to the White House in January 2025, the Mexican
government used Migrant TV to beam messages to millions of Mexicans
living in the US, such as “Racism, Hate, and Business: The Trumpist
Model.” They also ran slick stories about how “the United States
Department of Homeland Security has become the main spokesperson for
hatred against migrants” and stories about Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE)’s “repressive machinery.”
The American media
failed to report on the Mexican government’s massive interference in
American domestic politics. While news reports of Russia buying Facebook
ads and running social media campaigns have garnered cries of Russian
interference, Mexico’s
far wider and more aggressive efforts are ignored.
Indeed, Mexico and other foreign actors have become particularly assertive in their involvement in American internal politics at a level that would not be tolerated if the United States were doing the same in their countries.
Rather than denouncing this foreign interference, American progressives have embraced it, all in the name of the resistance to Trump.
Mexico’s efforts to extend its political reach into America have been going on for decades, aided by the rising flow of illegal immigrants into the country.
Among those operatives dispatched to the United States is Alejandro Robles, a former member of Mexico’s Chamber of Deputies and the executive secretary of the party’s National Committee of Mexicans Abroad.
“The extreme speech of ‘Make America Great Again’ ignores the migrant
contribution, and, thus, deserves an extreme response [emphasis
added],” Robles declared, “which signifies organizing disadvantaged
people to come out of the shadows, and the Mexican people are not alone;
we have a patriotic government and a political party Morena, dedicated
to the defense of its people. This is why the policy of Morena is and
should be: For the good of all, migrants should come first."
Robles was making trips to the United States, “meeting with militants, supporters and Morena committees” in cities like Houston,
Austin, and New York City, according to his party’s account of his activities.
Robles
was sent to stoke resistance to Trump in the United States, meeting
with migrants both illegal and legal, as well as progressive activist
groups. And he was blunt.
“It is important to note that Morena
is the only party that has an agenda for the care of the migrant
community; our mission is to organize the militancy abroad [emphasis
added],” declared Robles.
The Morena party was pushing “training workshops” for “compatriots in the United States” so they could enhance their militancy. Morena had a vast network of party chapters in forty-nine states (all save Hawaii), and party leaders bragged, “There is a very important network of our movement” inside the US.
Mexican officials “are constantly traveling to the country of the
Stars and Stripes,” he told people on social media. “We will be on
American soil fighting for our people.” Robles pointed out how they had
helped thwart US officials from carrying out their official duties in
major US cities. “In that sense, our committees are on the front line to
battle in these moments of civil resistance,” he said.
Read
that again: The ruling party of Mexico, through its consulates, was on
the “front line” of “civil resistance” in the United States. This is the
very definition of subversion.
Mexican Congressman Robles also joined with American radicals and
forged a common cause. He appeared at the People’s Forum, a radical
organization in New York funded by a wealthy American benefactor and
self-avowed Marxist in China named Neville Roy Singham.
The
People’s Forum supported groups like Antifa and other protesters. “That
is the revolution of consciences,” Robles told the audience. “Morena is
not a movement limited to the national territory; it is a social
movement that accompanies migrant dignity throughout the world."
American sovereignty be damned.
