A retired deputy patrol agent is confirming that the surge of millions of illegal immigrants at the southern border has successfully invaded all parts of the United States.
JJ Carrell, a 24-year veteran of the US Customs and Border Protection Agency, says it is unreasonable to assume that the millions of illegal aliens pushing their way into the country stay put at the border states.
Through a "well-oiled machine," operated by NGOs and governmental agencies, betraying their country, he says, the migrants have been transported to, and are now ensconced, in all major American cities and are in the process of "bleeding into" other parts of the country.
"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort." — US Constitution
Carrell sees Chicago, the third-largest city by population, as "the epicenter of the invasion" that is "fundamentally transforming America."
The border patrol agent, who has been investigating the border crisis on the ground in Texas, Arizona, California and even the Darian Pass (between Panama and Columbia) since the beginning of the Biden administration, predicts the once-great Windy City, now the main battlefield of the attack on our nation, "is about to explode."
In an interview with independent political commentator Mike Dakkak, the former patrol agent, who was in charge of the hard-hit San Diego sector, said many will say he is exaggerating. But, he countered:
"Whatever you think the situation is on the border, it is worse."
Carrell gave statistics culled from academic and government studies to refute claims that he is being an "alarmist." He told Souls and Liberty:
"MIT and Yale did a study in 2019 that found that the number of illegal aliens in America was as high as 29 million but the average they found to be 22 million. Under Biden and per his own admitted data, DHS [Department of Homeland Security] cites 12 million arrested and released. That is 34 million.
Everyone in the border law enforcement world knows that another 15-18 million have crossed illegally through the open border under Biden – 80% of the border is unmanned at all times. If we take that number, which Congress and Leftists agree to, we now have 49-52 million illegals."
He also cited a "huge demographic study" conducted recently by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS.org), which found 51.6 million residents in America are foreign nationals.
"Is that alarmist to quote government data that is damning on its face coupled with 24 years' experience to come to these "alarmist" data?"
It's noteworthy, too, he said, that of the 30 million illegals who have entered during the Biden administration alone, approximately 60-70% are military-aged men. This data point is now common knowledge, agreed upon by government sources and agencies —although it's buried in segmented data by Department of Homeland Security / Customs and Border Protection.
THE EPICENTER
During the interview with Dakkak, Carrell explained how he — "a 6'3" white guy with a law-enforcement tight haircut" — needed a guide to escort him to the notorious South Side of Chicago, to start his Chi-Town research.
What he described included all the signifiers of a third world country.
"The South Side is not America," he said. "The roads are so bad, the tires were going to fall off our car after a mile."
All the homes are dilapidated. One in three — or four — are abandoned or burned out. Strip malls are boarded up. There is zero industry, he continued.
Trying to garner a true picture of the South Side in post-migration Chicago, he met up with surviving residents. These included street activists, gang members, street and mega church pastors, as well as a GOP precinct leader.
The gathering of South Siders explained how residents are being systematically moved out from their neighborhoods and homes so that illegals can move in.
"We live in dilapidated houses — no running water, holes in the wall, holes in the floors, mold and rot and bathrooms that don't work. Landlords won't fix it. So the city comes and gives us $1000 to move out. We take it."
Simultaneously, the city government gives illegal immigrants, mostly Venezuelans — single, military-aged men — $9,000 a month, direct deposit, every first of the month, the former deputy border officer said. The Venezuelans, accustomed to squalor-like conditions, are happy to move in. The complicit landlords are happy, too, with an increase in monthly profits.
As a result, Carrell said, the residents of the South Side feel "betrayed," "angry," "frustrated" and "resentful." The clincher is that they say they also feel "humiliated" in their own community.
"Look around our city. The government has poured over 3 billion dollars into helping illegal aliens and have given us nothing," they said. "We don't mean anything. We are expendable. We are being replaced."
The GOP precinct leader said "replacement is no theory." She explained Chicago's population is dwindling — recently losing about 700-750 thousand souls. How coincidental, she said, that city mayor Brandon Johnson announced he is prepared to "welcome" 700,000 migrants.
The South-Siders all agreed — "to a man," Carrell said — that the Dem overlords, orchestrating this migration into their town, "have another thing coming." When Carrell asked what they meant, they said: "We're going to war. War means whatever we have to do to own our community."
"We're going to war. War means whatever we have to do to own our community." — South Side residents
Indeed, violence in Chicago has escalated since the migration to the city — gangs of Black Chicago Americans and gangs of mostly Venezuelan illegals are increasingly clashing with each other. These incidents go unreported by mainstream media, are normalized or used to sow seeds of disunity among the populace.
For example, over the July 4th weekend, Chicago saw a record number of over 100 shootings. In comments intended to distract Chicagoans from the true source of the violence and murder, the city's communist mayor astoundingly blamed the mayhem on president Richard Nixon (who served from 1969-1974). Among those caught in the crossfire were several children, and a mother who died trying to protect her child.
COMING EXPLOSION
Carrell sees the frustration and level of suffering reaching such a peak among native Chicagoans that he foresees a "race war" between Venezuelan gangs of illegals, Black gangs and the community of the South Side.
He said the Democrats know Chicago is a power keg about to ignite. Why else did they just last week say they're thinking of not holding the Democratic National Convention in Chicago as planned and instead are thinking of holding it remotely, he asked. They know the "explosion" is coming.
A TALE OF TWO CLASSES
Another part of the city Carrell visited was a homeless tent encampment "off the interstate" on a "hillside and flat area" on which "100-200 US citizens are living in squalor." He described the omnipresent stench of urine and feces ... the drugs and the sickness — mental and physical ... the despair.
In a painful irony, he noted "just two hundred yards away," four to five huge brand new white tents — "the kind used for weddings" — had been erected to serve as a welcoming site for the illegal migrants. It was policed so that no one could go in "unless you had credentials or were a migrant."
Free clothes, free food and medicine were available. The area was clean and free of litter. Brand new busses were idling 24-7 nearby to keep the migrants cool in summer and warm in winter.
One of the people living in the homeless compound explained how he begged to enter a bus to warm up on an especially freezing day. The bus driver shooed him away, yelling through the door — "Migrants only!"
"Migrants only!"
A GENTLEMEN'S CLUB FOR MIGRANTS
Carrell was also guided to another "migrant shelter" near to Sen. Dick Durbin's (D-IL) Chicago office building — the historic Standard Club.
There he said he found the old building of "1 million square feet" that had been "retrofitted to house 12,000 illegal aliens — all single, adult, military-aged men."
The housing is "beautiful" [and] "pristine," he said. On top of the free housing, they receive "free food, cellphones and same day clothes service."
The building is protected so that no one except migrants can enter. Carrell said he entered the lobby and was immediately threatened by security guards who called police on him and his guides. "You mean I just followed two illegal migrants into the building and I can't stand in the lobby?" he queried.
Diagonally opposite the Standard Club is a park where Carrell say hundreds of migrant men loiter. With no jobs and time on their hands, many resort to drug dealing and pimping, income added to their generous monthly allowances.
His guides told him the migrants can even afford to buy brand new cars — with "no insurance, no driver's license, no registration" — and "police are told to stand down."
The day after his visit, Carrell learned of a giant street fight outside the Standard Club between Haitians and Venezuelans — "with their weapon of choice — machetes." No one was arrested.
THE COMPLICITY OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
Carrell lamented the complicity of the Catholic Church:
"Ask yourself one simple question: Why are 90% of all Catholic Bishops registered Democrats? Another great question: Why is the Catholic Church involved with Catholic Charities the number one facilitator of 'refugee' resettlements and movement of illegal minor children? Because the Catholic Church, which I am a member, makes BILLIONS annually from the federal government!"
"We cannot stand by and allow our faith leaders to lie to us and lead us astray. I would — with all due respect — ask Pope Francis one question: If walls are so bad, why is the Vatican surrounded by 50-foot walls?"
FIGHTING THE BETRAYAL
The retired agent said Americans must fight back against the unbridled migration destroying the country. He told Souls and Liberty that they must become "knowledgeable" about the crisis and "speak openly about this treason."
"Ultimately, we need to follow our founding fathers as they laid the plan to successful governance. That is at the lowest levels. Make sure your city government consists of America First patriots — a city government that will never be a sanctuary city or allow illegal aliens to take US citizen's jobs," he advised.
"And be ready to fight for your nation," he added.
"All of America — not just Chicago — is closer to civil unrest and a civil war than anyone wants to admit. ... a government cannot disenfranchise and alienate its citizens and expect freedom-loving citizens to just take it — or maybe our tyrannical government believes that."
PARTING SHOTS
Carrell told Souls and Liberty that too many Americans are not aware of the urgency of the situation or may resist his message.
"If you don't like my conclusion to the invasion of tens of millions of illegal aliens and the treason committed against our nation but you agree that my cited DHS/CBP data is true, then tell me what the hell is going on?"
He says he hopes his newly produced documentary "'What Is Treason?" will rouse patriots to see the truth — how the Biden administration, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, the Democrats and Republicans of the uni-party have fostered this dire situation.
As America's fateful presidential election nears, Carrell is sounding a wake-up alarm about the number of illegal aliens that will be voting in November, reminding patriots:
"Illegal aliens that cross the border are registered to vote by the NGOs or when the illegal aliens sign up for their social benefits. Democrats are unified against the Secure Act that requires proof of citizenship to vote. Why is that?"

This is so disturbing. And the complicity of our Church is disgusting. If you want to be taken care of be an illegal immigrant. So sad.
Great report. Would be awesome if you could include photos of current Chicago. It looks like a war zone. And photos of the luxurous migrant facilities.
