Migration As A Geopolitical Strategy
- Peter Schweizer discovered foreign-state strategies behind migration after finding Mexican officials' statements and China's birth-tourism scale.
- These facts reframed migration as a geopolitical tool, not just a domestic policy issue.
China's Birth Tourism Example
- Schweizer recounts China's industrial-scale birth-tourism where elite families have U.S.-born children raised in China.
- He notes these children become U.S. citizens who may vote later, illustrating strategic exploitation of birthright citizenship.
Progressive International's Strategic Priorities
