The following is an excerpt from the new book “The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon” by Peter Schweizer (January 20, 2026/HarperCollins) * * * It was a hot July 2009 in Washington, DC, and a silver-haired labor boss stood before the crowd and personified the fusing of Mexico’s territorial ambitions with those of an American president looking to create new voters. Eliseo Medina was the secretary-treasurer of one of the most powerful unions in America, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), and honorary chair of the Democratic Socialists of America. He also had the ear of the newly elected president, Barack Obama, who had met with him when he was a senator. “Before immigration debates took place in Washington,” Obama had said, “I spoke with Eliseo Medina and SEIU members.” Medina was a labor boss, but he was also an immigrant. Apparently, he wanted to change America profoundly. “When they [recently naturalized migrants] voted in November,” Medina observed, “they voted overwhelmingly for progressive candidates. Barack Obama got two out of every three voters who showed up.” Roger Wollenberg/Getty Images So, I think there’s [sic] two things that matter for the progressive community: Number one: If we are to expand this electorate to win, the progressive community needs to solidly be on the side of immigrants. That will expand and solidify the progressive coalition for the future. Number two: [If] we reform the immigration laws, it puts 12 million people on the path to citizenship and eventually voters. Can you imagine if we have, even the same ratio, two out of three? If we have eight million new voters . . . [we] will create a governing coalition for the long term, not just for an election cycle. What Eliseo Medina didn’t say on that day was that he was not only an immigrant, labor leader, and Obama confidant. He was also an advisor to the Mexican government’s foreign ministry—in particular, the Institute for Mexicans Abroad, which, as we saw earlier, was created by officials because “Mexico needs Mexican Americans to lobby the US government to make decisions favorable to Mexico.” Elected in the shadow of the 2008 financial crisis, President Barack Obama brought a message of “hope and change” through the “fundamental transformation of America.” The transformation he envisioned was both cultural and political, and Obama likely saw migrants as the vectors for such transformation. Obama’s second job out of college was as a community organizer for the Chicago-based Gamaliel Foundation, “an organization that had long supported immigrant rights.” Immigrants had long been a cornerstone of the progressive coalition in Chicago, where Obama grew up politically. Cover credit: Harper During the 2008 Democratic Party campaign, Obama lost the hotly contested Pennsylvania primary to Hillary Clinton. He was later caught on tape explaining to donors why, blaming rural voters who opposed mass migration: “And it’s not surprising that they get bitter; they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.” When he wasn’t expressing concerns about the immigrant sentiments of ordinary Americans, Obama declared that his immigrant roots gave him unique and special insights. He told voters in Iowa that “his childhood years in Indonesia and his Kenyan roots” led him to oppose the Iraq war because those experiences had taught him “how powerful tribal and ethnic sentiments are.” For the 2008 election, Obama and his team brazenly “adopted a prominent phrase from within the immigrant rights movement” and made it their campaign slogan: “Sí se puede! Yes we can.” What Obama understood was that, unlike those rural voters, the most supportive group in the United States for his expansive government agenda to transform America were immigrants. And many of them, like Obama, wanted America to change from the foundation up. Not only did newly naturalized migrants vote for Democrats in large numbers, but they were also significantly to the left of the typical Democrat. In 2010, 69 percent of immigrants supported Obama’s plans for a massive government takeover of health care, according to polling. Surveys regularly demonstrated that migrants preferred larger and more intrusive government practices, often reflecting socialist experiences in their home countries. During Obama’s first term, 75 percent of Hispanic immigrants told pollsters they preferred a “bigger government providing more services.” Only 41 percent of the general American population agreed. At the same time, migrants were shown to be less supportive of preserving America’s core values. A 2013 Harris Interactive survey found that “only 50 percent of naturalized citizens” believed “schools should teach children to be proud Americans,” compared with 81 percent of those who were native-born. When asked if “the US Constitution is a higher authority than international law,” only 37 percent of naturalized citizens agreed, compared to 67 percent of American-born natives. And while surveys found that 85 percent of Americans viewed themselves as US citizens and not “citizens of the world,” only 54 percent of naturalized citizens embraced that view. The partisan advantage for Democrats that Obama and Medina noted was not only real; it was growing. Four years after his election, in 2012, a YouGov survey found that recent immigrants favored Democrats over Republicans by almost four to one. Therefore, the hard work of ignoring citizenship standards to create these voters needed to continue. * * * This excerpt from “The Invisible Coup” is published by permission from Harper, a division of HarperCollins Publishers. “The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon” is written by Peter Schweizer and is available on January 20, 2026.

Amateur hockey player Billy Garaffa’s 16-minute clinical death during a 2022 game led to a divine encounter that transformed him from a nominal believer into a fervent witness for Christ, proving that God’s miraculous power still operates in our modern world. Miraculous Survival Against Medical Odds Billy Garaffa collapsed on the ice during a 2022 amateur hockey game, suffering ventricular fibrillation that stopped his heart completely. Medical professionals pronounced him clinically dead for sixteen minutes before successful resuscitation. Doctors later discovered rare collateral arteries in his heart—additional blood vessels that likely prevented permanent brain damage during the extended cardiac arrest. This anatomical feature, which Billy describes as “God built this miracle into me,” enabled his full recovery without neurological deficits that typically accompany such prolonged oxygen deprivation. Divine Encounter During Clinical Death During his sixteen minutes of clinical death, Billy experienced what he describes as standing “in the light” with God. He recalls feeling more alive than ever before, encountering the Holy Spirit, and receiving divine guidance. The experience included sensory details such as a sweet smell and an overwhelming sense of peace. Billy emphasizes that this wasn’t a dream or hallucination but a real encounter that fundamentally changed his understanding of God’s love and the simplicity of faith. His testimony adds to documented near-death experiences but stands out for its theological specificity and immediate life transformation. Faith Transformation from Nominal to Fervent Before his cardiac arrest, Billy maintained casual Christian beliefs without deep commitment. The near-death experience radically transformed his faith perspective, converting him from a nominal believer to an active witness for Christ. He now publicly shares his testimony through podcasts, interviews, and appearances on Christian media. Billy’s transformation demonstrates how divine encounters can instantly redirect lives toward spiritual purpose. His wife, Isabella, supports his ministry, noting that “faith doesn’t mean you don’t feel fear,” but rather that it means trusting God through life’s uncertainties. The Garaffa family’s experience illustrates God’s sovereignty over life and death circumstances. Billy’s pre-game prayer for protection, sensing unusual foreboding, shows divine preparation for the miraculous events. Isabella’s immediate prayer to Jesus from the hockey rink stands demonstrates faith in crisis moments. Their testimony encourages believers that God orchestrates circumstances for His glory and our spiritual growth, even in the midst of medical emergencies that appear devastating. Testimony Gaining National Recognition Billy’s remarkable story gained renewed attention in January 2026 through appearances on The Juice Radio and Fox News and featured coverage by CBN News. His testimony resonates with Christian audiences seeking evidence of God’s active presence in contemporary life. The story provides hope for believers facing medical crises and demonstrates that miraculous healings haven’t ceased in modern times. Billy continues sharing his experience through various media platforms, emphasizing God’s love and the reality of spiritual encounters that secular society often dismisses or explains away through naturalistic interpretations. Billy Garaffa’s extraordinary experience serves as powerful testimony that God’s miraculous power remains active today, offering hope to believers and challenging skeptics to consider spiritual realities beyond medical explanations. His transformation from nominal faith to passionate witness demonstrates how divine encounters can instantly redirect lives toward eternal purposes that transcend earthly concerns.
