The Mexican Government is Working on Conquering America
Author and investigative journalist Peter Schweizer said Mexican political leaders are using mass migration and an established political network inside the United States to undermine U.S. sovereignty, according to remarks made during an exchange with Fox News host Jesse Watters.
Schweizer described what he called the Reconquista movement, arguing that it is not rhetorical posturing but a coordinated strategy backed by Mexican leadership to reclaim territory lost to the United States.
“The Reconquista movement involves all the leadership of Mexico,” Schweizer said.
“I could read to you literally dozens of quotes from Mexican presidents, Mexican senators, prominent people in journalism that say they are using mass migration as a means to reconquer or retake the territories that were lost to them.”
Schweizer said the effort goes beyond rhetoric and includes a physical and political presence operating within the United States.
“And this is not just bravado,” he said.
“Jesse, as I point out in the book, they have created an infrastructure in our country.”
According to Schweizer, Mexican lawmakers currently reside in the United States while serving in Mexico’s national legislature, representing Mexican citizens living abroad.
“People don’t realize that right now in the United States, there are more than a dozen senators and members of their house of representatives of the Mexican Congress who live in the United States,” Schweizer said.
“And their job is to represent Mexicans living in the United States, in the Mexican parliament, so they’ve already starting to take steps to undermine our sovereignty.”
Watters reacted to the claim by comparing it to a hypothetical U.S. scenario.
“Wow. I mean, that’s that’s a lot,” Watters said.
“You’re saying that that would be like the United States having congressmen in other countries representing Americans living abroad. You’re saying that that’s what Mexico is doing here?”
Schweizer confirmed that characterization and cited specific examples.
“Yes, yeah,” Schweizer said.
“There’s a senator, Ruiz, for example, who sits in the Mexican Senate, but lives in Arizona.”
He said that lawmaker has publicly proposed legislation affecting U.S. territory.
“She has actually proposed legislation to make California a state of Mexico,” Schweizer said.
Schweizer also referenced another Mexican lawmaker operating from within the United States who he said actively worked against the Trump administration.
“There is a congressman who lives in Ontario, California, who went across the United States saying he was organizing the militancy to undermine the presidency of Donald Trump,” Schweizer said.
He emphasized that these activities are part of a broader political structure rather than isolated incidents.
“These are all facts and statements that they’ve made,” Schweizer said.
“So we need to understand there is a political infrastructure.”
Schweizer also pointed to Mexico’s extensive diplomatic footprint inside the United States, saying it far exceeds that of other allied nations.
“And that’s not even to mention what they’re doing with their 53 consulates, which, by the way, is almost 10 times as many as Great Britain has in the United States,” he said.
According to Schweizer, those consulates are not limited to consular services.
“They’re involved in politics, and they’re organizing some of these anti ICE protests,” he said.
Schweizer concluded by warning that the issue extends beyond illegal border crossings to organized political activity within U.S. borders.
“It’s not just people pouring across the border,” Schweizer said.
“It’s the political networks that Mexico and other countries have established inside the United States that are undermining ourselves.”
