Rival nations are weaponizing immigration to America according to an author who investigates foreign influence in the United States. Experts gathered at The Heritage Foundation Wednesday to discuss how this works. Peter Schweizer, President of the Governmental Accountability Institute and author of “The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon,” explained that Mexico uses mass immigration as an entrance for Mexicans to “reclaim” their territory and push their power in the U.S.  Schweizer quoted Mexican senator, Felix Salgado: “Mexicans are in our territory. California, Nevada, Texas, Utah, Oklahoma, Colorado, and Wyoming. We’re going to take back the territory that was stolen from us.”  The Mexican government’s December 2024 official report listed the number of Mexicans in the United States at 39.9 million. Mexico also has officials living fulltime in the U.S. who serve in the Mexican government at the same time to “represent Mexicans living inside the United States before the Mexican government.”   Schweizer also discussed how China exploits the U.S. birthright citizenship laws through their so-called birth tourism industry.   Birth tourism is when expecting mothers travel to another country so that their child has citizenship there. Companies in the birth tourism industry in China, according to Schweizer, arrange for pregnant women to fly to the U.S. for a fee between $80,000-$100,000 to have their children in America and return to China to raise them under the CCP.  But since the child would be considered a U.S. citizen, Schweizer stressed that “when they turn 18, they’re gonna be able to vote in our elections, contribute to political campaigns, and donate to political campaigns, and take government jobs.”      The post Weaponized Immigration Methods Aimed at America appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Rep. Chip Roy is demanding an “immediate” investigation into the leftist network of activist groups organizing protests against President Donald Trump’s intervention in Iran after some of the network’s leaders met with the Cuban Communist Party’s Politburo earlier this week. “That this group would openly meet with Cuba tells you how urgent it is for the administration and state law enforcement entities, including attorneys general, to immediately investigate these groups and the myriad other groups that are clearly acting against our national security interests,” the Texas Republican told The Daily Signal in a phone interview Thursday. Roy suggested that the network is “very clearly operating unlawfully in terms of their engagement with foreign interests.” “They’re on the side of Iran, they’re on the side of Cuba, they’re on the side of anything opposing America, and they’re operating within our framework in our country,” he added. “The fact that they’re openly going and engaging and sitting down with Cuba… it just tells you how coordinated the entire network is.” Vijay Prashad, executive director of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research, a hub of the activist network funded by Shanghai-based billionaire Neville Roy Singham, announced the Cuba meeting on X Tuesday. “Last evening, the [International People’s Assembly] delegation spent several hours with leaders from the Cuban Communist Party Politburo, including the President of Cuba, the Foreign Minister, the no. 2 in the Party, and the head of the International Department,” Prashad wrote. He further noted that he represented Tricontinental in the meeting, along with Manolo De Los Santos. “We gave the President a number of our texts,” he added. “We had a very encouraging dialogue about the resilience of the Cuban Revolution and its untiring sense of fight against US hyper-imperialism.” Last evening, the @peoplesassembl_ delegation spent several hours with leaders from the Cuban Communist Party Politburo, including the President of Cuba, the Foreign Minister, the no. 2 in the Party, and the head of the International Department.

These groups organized protests against Trump’s ouster of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro, and more recently against the attacks on Iran’s regime. The same groups also organized “anti-racism” protests after the 2020 death of George Floyd, and anti-Israel encampments after the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel. “What we saw, out in the open, was a coordination between the Cuban leadership, including the president and the Politburo of the Cuban Communist Party, and the leaders of the groups that organize mayhem on our streets, over Gaza, ICE, Iran, whatever cause comes their way,” Mike Gonzalez, a senior fellow for national security at The Heritage Foundation, told The Daily Signal in a statement Thursday. “Included in that meeting was Vijay Prashad, Neville Roy [Singham’s] top ideologue and a top leader of the International [Peoples’] Assembly, which was created in Caracas to defend Maduro and which includes CodePink, Manolo De Los Santos, also funded by Singham, a leader of the People’s Forum, and Brian Becker, who holds leadership positions in the Party for Socialism and Liberation and the ANSWER Coalition,” Gonzalez added. “All these groups organize chaos in our streets.” The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform voted in January to subpoena Singham, over his funding for activist groups and his ties to the Chinese Communist Party. The Daily Signal reached out to Tricontinental, Code Pink, the ANSWER Coalition, and The People’s Forum for comment, but they did not respond by publication time.

Mohamed Jalloh, a former U.S. service member and naturalized citizen from Sierra Leone who shot and killed one person and injured two others at Virginia’s Old Dominion University on Thursday, was reportedly released by President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice in 2024 after being sentenced in 2017 to 11 years in prison for aiding ISIS. According to media reports, Jalloh was accused by federal prosecutors of sending money to aspiring ISIS fighters and attempting to help the terror group acquire weapons that he believed would be used in an attack on U.S. soil. Prosecutors under President Donald Trump’s administration had originally sought a 20-year sentence for Jalloh. “By putting the idea of this murder plot into religious terms, and by suggesting that murdering members of the US military would be a path to heaven, the defendant showed how strongly committed he was to the deadly ideology,” prosecutors stated at the time, as reported by the AP. However, Judge Liam O’Grady of the Eastern District Court of Virginia, an appointee of former President George W. Bush, sentenced him to 11 years in prison, the AP reported. Media reports noted that the judge’s sentence came after the defense claimed that Jalloh had renounced his ISIS aspirations. “I feel like a complete idiot for accepting such a superficial and dishonest interpretation of Islam,” Jalloh wrote in a letter to the court, as reported by the New York Post. Jalloh was released from his sentence four years early in December of 2024, according to Federal Bureau of Prisons records reported by the Post. FBI Director Kash Patel announced Thursday that the bureau would investigate the shooting as an act of terrorism. Earlier today, an armed individual opened fire at Old Dominion University, leaving one person dead and two others wounded.

The powers that be in the U.K. appear eager to strip away every aspect of what it means to be British from their society and institutions. According to a news release from the Bank of England, the country is set to remove historical figures from its currency and replace them with various non-offensive wildlife. “For more than 50 years, the Bank has proudly showcased many inspirational historical figures who have helped shape national thought, innovation, leadership, and values on its banknotes,” the statement read. “The change to wildlife imagery, supported by the public consultation and feedback, provides an opportunity to celebrate another important aspect of the UK.” The figures to be stripped from the banknotes are novelist Jane Austen, painter J.M.W. Turner, scientist Alan Turing, and perhaps most upsetting of all, Winston Churchill. President Donald Trump recently said that U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer was no Churchill. In the not-too-distant future, young British subjects might respond to the Churchill reference: “Who?” Among the criteria for new images, the bank noted that it must not be “divisive.” “The theme should not involve imagery that would reasonably be offensive to, or exclude, any groups,” the bank release read. According to one Nadeem Perera, one of the “experts” on the Bank of England’s panel to create new currency imagery, the decision to swap out historical figures for birds and badgers was “overdue.” British wartime hero Winston Churchill to be REMOVED from £5 UK bank notes; replaced by picture of animals.

And that’s ultimately what this is about. The Bank of England made the currency change out to be just a routine bureaucratic swap of imagery following “public consultation,” but it’s hard to ignore the larger context. Unlike in the U.S., where the Great Awokening and the war on history hit the wall of changing political and cultural tides, similar progressive movements continue institutionally unabated across the pond. One U.K. institution after another has done its best to purge anything remotely English from the country. Historic statues have been torn down. Some were moved to museums to be “contextualized,” meaning shamed. Major museums have carried out the work of deleting their past or making it wholly false and unrecognizable. The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, which manages William Shakespeare’s birthplace in Stratford-upon-Avon, for instance, announced in 2025 that it will “decolonize” future celebrations of its namesake because it says his works could be used to promote “white supremacy.” This is only the tip of the iceberg. There is widespread movement intended to expunge British heritage and prepare its society for a glorious, sanitized, diverse, and likely tyrannical future. British politicians like Starmer are in thrall to the global Left and fear the Muslim bloc of voters that they’ve imported. To carry on their leftist project and appease the new arrivals, they’ve turned to historical erasure and censorship. It’s not just historical memory that’s being purged. This is part of a much larger political project. The U.K. government’s anti-terrorism programs have flagged scary reading materials like “The Canterbury Tales,” “1984,” and “The Lord of the Rings” as potential leads to “far-right terrorism.” Meanwhile, free speech is ruthlessly under assault as the government clearly aims to make British subjects afraid to criticize mass immigration and a constellation of various protected groups favored by the ruling class. They want people to think twice about telling the truth lest the speech police come to their homes and take them away, a very real prospect in the modern U.K. Just look at this video recently posted by the U.K. Counter Terrorism Policing network. UK Counter Terrorism Police just dropped their latest ad for "countering terrorism".And this is the image they portrayed as the "potential terrorist".Anything to not "offend" the "faces of modern Britain". pic.twitter.com/MLG3GXS3Xa— Tommy Robinson ?? (@TRobinsonNewEra) March 5, 2026 This happens as long-standing English conventions like jury trials are pared back and done away with. The House of Lords is even ejecting hereditary nobles from Parliament after 700 years. I far prefer the American system that acknowledges no nobility, but there is something to be said about leaving an institution in place that has been around since the very advent of bicameralism. This all makes me very sad. To see our British cousins abandon what made them great, to lose their identity and their liberty, is mortifying. It threatens the future of our once “special relationship,” and provides a chilling warning about the Left’s goals should they retake power.

Democrats again voted down a measure to reopen the Department of Homeland Security, leaving the agency with a lapse in appropriations that is 27 days and counting. Senate Republicans only needed seven Democrats to break ranks for the 60 votes necessary to reopen the department, but the measure failed by a vote of 51-46. Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., voted for the measure, while Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., voted “no” in order to make a motion to reconsider. Sens. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn.; Jerry Moran, R-Kan.; and Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., did not vote. After two Immigration and Customs Enforcement protesters were shot and killed by immigration agents in Minnesota in January, Democrats have made clear they will not fund the agency without major reforms to immigration enforcement.   The shutdown impacts various agencies within the Department of Homeland Security, including not only immigration and border-related agencies, but also the Transportation Security Administration, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the Secret Service. More than 300 TSA workers have quit, according to CBS News, and security lines have increased at airports across the country.   “Today, travelers are facing TSA lines of up to nearly three hours long at some major airports, causing missed flights and massive delays during peak travel,” the Transportation Security Administration told USA Today. “These front-line heroes received only partial paychecks earlier this month and now face their first full missed paycheck, leading to financial hardship, absences, and crippling staffing shortages.” Democrats submitted their list of demands for the immigration agencies in February and have been negotiating with the White House, unable to find a solution.   NEW: Schumer and Jeffries lay out 10 demands for DHS reforms pic.twitter.com/bKfVg1Ctbb— Max Cohen (@maxpcohen) February 5, 2026 “The White House submitted their last offer to the Democrats 12 days ago,” Thune told the press on Tuesday. “Twelve days ago, no response. And so, you know, here we are, with important agencies of government that have vital national security and homeland security roles, people not getting paid.”  “I mean, how much more cynical can you get than to play politics with issues that affect homeland security?” Thune continued.   Democrats now want to attempt to fund only the department’s agencies that do not involve immigration, like TSA and FEMA.  “Let’s just pass those funding bills. Let’s confine the ICE and CBP reform discussion just to those two agencies and fund the others,” Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., said on CBS this week, arguing that the two agencies in question—Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection—received funding from the “One Big, Beautiful Bill” passed last summer.   “Senator [Katie] Britt last week offered a couple different times, a unanimous consent request to fund that department and those agencies, and to allow additional time for discussion with the Democrats, so we could at least get into the negotiation, and they resisted that as well,” Thune continued.  The post Democrats Block DHS Reopening as TSA Lines Grow Longer appeared first on The Daily Signal.
