You are a Jazz fan, right? In the context of a discussion about the NBA, would it make sense to call you a Jazz?

Of course, now this whole conversation is reminding me of this:

Sounds funny but it’s accurate. Given the context of the discussion.

Outside of an immigration comment or discussion I don’t use illegal immigrant to describe people let alone illegal.

Would you call yourself an ***-man?
 
Apart from this discussion of immigration....

It is an interesting story. The Ametican military veteran publication "Task and Purpose" has been reporting on it.

This report has a Haitian senator claiming the Prime Minister told him the men were there to break into the central bank and assassinate him:

On Thursday, Haiti’s Senate ordered the government security council to answer questions about the incident. The council is headed by Prime Minister Jean Henry Céant. According to a senator who spoke with him, the men planned to break into the central bank and then assassinate Céant....

.....A Haitian media personality on board the flight from Haiti to Miami that transported the mercenaries told the U.S. military veteran publication Task & Purpose that they were escorted off by government officials wearing “navy blue uniforms with what looked like the Homeland Security badge on their shoulders.”

However, it isn’t clear whether that was the case, as Homeland Security’s Customs and Border Patrol did not respond to Task & Purpose’s request for comment, while “the City of Miami Police Department, Miami-Dade Police Department, the FBI, TSA, and the U.S. Marshal’s Service” all denied involvement.

 
Like so many things are, the immigration issue is controlled by good old fashioned economics. In Canada they don't allow people in who will upset the economic order. You aren't getting citizenship if you will be competing for somebody's job. They only take in people who they have a need for, who complement them. In the US, the biggest pushback is in markets where illegal labor competes with established labor. US areas where the influx doesn't challenge jobs don't really care about it. Its not their livelihoods at stake, not their problem, they dont give a rat's *** about their fellow Americans who are facing the competition. Challenge their union job or their trade with competition, however, and they'll fight against it all the same as an Arizonian drywaller. Humanity has always sought to protect and shield their income stream in one fashion or another - unions, trade guilds, family secrets, legal barriers to entry, ingrained government contracts and subsidies (M.I.T., farming)... Right now we have less people whose income is being challenged by immigration than not, and our voting stance reflects that.
