The Low Road, Meet Mayor McCrory

We've been wondering how Jack Hawke would remake Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory as a conservative extreme enough to satisfy N.C. Republicans in the upcoming primary, and now we have some evidence that it's going to be illegal immigrants -- dirty, filty, criminal, baby-boiling, sex-crazed -- immigrants, ALL THE TIME, who are going to supply the character make-over.

When he first filed, we said we were surprised that we didn't see anything about Mexicans.

That was then.

Now McCrocy is all about "security" and targeting "gang members" and building enough prison space in NC to house the approximate population of Chihuahua and driving immigrants into the Atlantic surf.

We got it.
