Summary

As the Supreme Court weighs arguments regarding President Trump’s executive order challenging birthright citizenship, the landmark case has put the spotlight on so-called “birth tourism”—the practice of traveling to the United States to give birth so a child gains American citizenship. In his new book, The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Power Use Immigration as a Weapon, Peter Schweizer takes a deep dive into the business of birth tourism and how the industry poses a potential threat to America. Peter Schweizer joins FOX Business Network’s Lydia Hu to discuss the Supreme Court case and why he says countries—including our foes—are taking advantage of birthright citizenship.
