As we wrote on Friday, state and local Democrats in North Carolina began wildly chattering this week after information started to circulate that after making progress on sweeping up criminal illegal aliens in Chicago, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was readying immigration operations to start in Charlotte soon.
Part of the pushback came from city council members, as well as the sheriff of Mecklenburg County, where Charlotte is located. It was the fear-mongering from one congresswoman and the state’s governor, though, that drew the attention of Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino, when they failed to acknowledge the difference between the words “immigrant” and “illegal alien.” He helped them out with a primer on his X account.

It’s hard to believe that any American would actually take to the streets with signage to protest law enforcement doing their jobs and in support of anyone being here illegally. You’d have to have been living under a rock to have missed the incredible rise in crimes of all kinds in all our cities all during the biden regime, and caused by his open borders policies.
Charlotte is north of 10% immigrants.
The leftist governor of North Carolina, with slick Southern charm implied American citizens were being harassed by Boarder Patrol. This couldn’t be farther from the truth. Although, he says respect the local law enforcement and be peaceful, he of course, adds in typical leftist talking points like we’re all immigrants and rounding up “immigrants” is creating fear for everyone in Charlotte. The truth is only illegal immigrant invaders have been rounded up during this operation – “Charlotte’s Web” which is a very apropos name.
