> all land has an owner

Well, an owner depending on what that means. A thing is owned only to the extent the owner is able to enforce it. (The Spartan border reflects reality.)

> 20,000

In a town that only had 60,000 people to begin with, it is worth noting. If 20,000 Haitians were dropped in a major city, the people that lived in that city would not notice much of a difference, but this is an immediate shift in an entire town's culture. It's kind of egregious: "Your town, which has been the way it is for about a hundred years, is now different, by fiat of the president and the governor and probably the mayor got some kickbacks." This is different from immigration. (It does make someone wonder how people that are staunchly against gradual gentrification can reconcile it.)
