To tell you the truth, a lot of them are doing work that most of us wouldn't even be bothered doing. I'm of two minds on this issue:

1) They are doing the crappy, sh!tty jobs that most of us don't want and which pay minium wage...sucky work, but it has to be done
2) I hate free-loaders and people gettin' by on our system without paying their dues.

yeah, as long as they work and pay taxes I don't mind. Some do, some don't.

Are we seeing a bit of a Skoorb effect here?

So as an Alien yourself, you support allowing other Aliens to come and work? Should they be documented when they land on our planet?

Except taxes, which help pay for the services they utilize. No doubt they will get government subsidies to build their own seperate little colonies within U.S. borders, much like the Russians are getting up here in Delta Junction.

EDIT: Oh crap, I am at 9999 posts! 😕
 
As long as they don't have too many extra appendages and won't make me look bad in the locker room, I suppose we can let them in. But they need to be documented in case one of them is carrying some funky relic that could well be the impetus for an intergalactic war.

I cannot believe I am quoting her for truth.

We've already got enough problems as it is trying to support humans and other animals, how the hell are we supposed to support another species which in all likelihood will need to use a lot of the same resources as us?

So we don't even let them visit or vacation here?

That's not very neighborly.

Don't kid yourself, they wouldn't want to visit here.

That reminds me of a Calvin and Hobbes strip a while ago where Calvin said 'The SUREST sign that there IS intellegent life out there is the fact they HAVENT tried to contact us'

Intergalactic war? LIke we could actually defend ourselves... I think we would rather shoot our weapons at an enemy we can see and kill rather than some funky aliens in outerspace who could pawn us very easily.

That's just it, as long as they're documented then we can turn them and their damn artifact in so our planet won't get all blowed up.

Legal or illegal, I think anyone coming here from another planet should check in and be documented before roaming with the general population.

What are your thoughts on the matter?

Taking our jobs with their superior intelligence is one thing, but the anal probings is just taking it too far. There's no reason to add insult to injury.

Theyre not really freeloading but there are a lot of good reasons to want them out.

Our job market is already crowded enough for one and for another they drive around without insurance, not that half of the people in my neighborhood have any either but theyre adding an undue strain on our insurance premiums.

But the aliens would probably fly, thus creating no more stress on our highway systems.
