Schweizer argues that mass migration into the US is not a spontaneous movement of people seeking better lives, but an organized campaign of subversion — an effort to reverse a country's values and principles from within. Mexico, China, radical Islamist movements, drug cartels, and even elements of the Catholic Church all weaponize migration, each for different strategic purposes. Domestic political figures serve as willing collaborators who see partisan benefits. The São Paulo Forum became the coordination hub. Founded in 1990 by Brazil's Lula da Silva and Fidel Castro, this alliance of communist parties and radical movements across Latin America declared its aim: "A world without borders and with universal citizenship." By 2009, its members controlled fourteen Latin American governments and actively propelled migrants northward as a strategic force against the United States. TAKEAWAY 2
“ Decades later, when the immigration weapon was redeployed against the United States, American leaders would not be naïve bystanders, but instead active participants in its deployment. ” e.style.display='none');if(typeof getContentsSections==='function')setTimeout(getContentsSections,50)" /> The 1980 Mariel Boatlift was an invasion. When Cuban exiles sailed boats to pick up refugees, Castro seized the opportunity. Under what Cuban intelligence dubbed the Attila Plan, he embedded an estimated 16,000 – 20,000 criminals, 3,000 intelligence agents, and 300 – 400 drug operatives among 125,000 legitimate refugees. Miami's murder rate spiked, jails overflowed, and one embedded agent had allegedly been trained to poison the Mississippi River. It ranks with Pearl Harbor and 9/11 as the most damaging foreign attacks in US history — yet America responded weakly because there was nothing to bomb. Castro bragged he could now instigate a race riot at will. The boatlift became proof of concept: weaponized migration works, it's cheap, and it exploits America's humanitarian reputation as a noose around its own neck. TAKEAWAY 3
“ Our political leaders in Washington never talk about Mexico's subversive policy, choosing instead to characterize the Mexican government as a well-intentioned, somewhat hapless neighbor. ” e.style.display='none');if(typeof getContentsSections==='function')setTimeout(getContentsSections,50)" /> They say it on camera. When asked if Mexicans were reconquering their lands, President AMLO smiled and confirmed it. Senate president Noroña called California, Texas, and New Mexico "occupied territories." Mexico's National Population Council wrote officially in 2024: "We Mexicans are reclaiming our territory." Polls show 58% of Mexican citizens believe the American Southwest rightfully belongs to Mexico. This is not fringe rhetoric. President Sheinbaum commissioned a "Migrant Hymn" pledging: "We change places but not…
