J.J. Carrell recently retired from the United States Border Patrol after a 24-year career as a Deputy Patrol Agent in Charge. Carrell brings a different view on immigration and what is now transpiring on this forgotten and unknown place called the border.
Carrell supervised an ATV Unit on the San Diego/Tijuana border during the most violent times in recent Border Patrol history. He created the most successful maritime narcotic and human smuggling unit in the Border Patrol.

Carrell's unique perspective is from years as a frontline Journeyman Agent to a Senior Leader in the United States Border Patrol. Carrell uses his experience to articulate who has created this disastrous situation on the border, how these policies are being enacted, and why these intentional policies are being implemented in his new book, Invaded: The Intentional Destruction of the American Immigration System.
Carrell takes his 24 years of experience in the trenches and his time in leadership roles to outline solutions.
