Geez Man, didn't anyone tell you yet ?\n...The real 'earthlings' were totally annihilated by our ancestors, eons ago - when they first invaded Planet Earth. Among our ancestors, the Men came from Mars, and Women from Venus.\n...We are all the proud descendants, of those brave and holy alien immigrants who came in search of the 'Promised Lands'.

Yes, I think so. What you think is another story though! I don't think they are little green things though... I don't know what they look like, but I don't think it's anything like in the movies... LoL\n\nPS-The kind from space!!! LOL That's funny... But I guess someone might think you meant Illegal Aliens. HAHA! You're very funny!

Aliens, by definition come from somewhere other than where they are.  For example, a person born in Mexico who lives in America is an Alien.  More broadly, A being from a planet other than the planet they are visiting.  Someone from planet Beta-Zed in the Gamma Quadrant visiting Earth would be an alien.

No no no.  Alien is a living being outside of Earth.  Air is not a living thing and is on Earth.

... see... now what happens if the aliens start immigrating to America... they could take our jobs in the high-tech sectors and live on welfare and use our medical facilities at no cost... \n\nI propose we build a bubble over the top of the U.S. to keep these intergalactic freeloaders out of the U.S. and off our welfare... \n\nand what if they want to burn our flags or what if the male aliens want to marry other male aliens (even though it's the only way they can reproduce?)... and what if they abort their own children some of the time, because they will often kill them right as they come out of the womb?\n\nThese are all important issues that we will have to face and legislate in the coming years... think hard about it.... \n\nCruise will have his hands full...

No we're not a nation of 'immigrants'.  We welcome immigrants, but we're not all immigrants.\n\nI am a Native American. See that word "AMERICAN". That means I am a citizen of the USA. I am a natural born citizen. Those people who's ancestors came here are natural born citizens, too. They are NOT immigrants. Immigrants are people who were not born citizens. They are from another country. If they become citizens and have children here, their children are NATURAL BORN CITIZENS, not immigrants, either. Immigrants have been welcome in the USA. But our country can not take 800,000 immigrants every year and have the resources to sustain that many people. We must reduce immigration of all kinds back to 200,000 people per year or this country will be another third world nation by 2050. I don't think even the illegals would like that.\nSource(s):

Why don't we just call them illegal migrants as President Fox calls them migrants?\n\nWe call them colonizers and for a good reason, for La Reconquista.\n\nNo matter what you call them it doesn't change the fact that my country expects and demands that I follow the law and pay taxes for those who are illegal citizens who don't have to do any of that.

There is proof that aliens from outter space are living here. Look at the democratic party. Nuff said.

The old immigrants wanted to become Americans,they would get off the ships and kiss the ground they were so happy to be here.They wanted to assimilate into this country as quickly as they could.They learned English,sometimes by going to night school after a long hard day at work.They kept some of their old world ways but they were eager to learn about their new homeland.\nThe new immigrants are not a whole lot different except the fact that there are so many of them of one ethnic heritage that they don't feel the urgent need to assimilate as quickly or as completely as the old immigrants did.\nThe illegal aliens are an entirely different type of people.But you didn't ask about them so I wont elaborate.

illegal aliens are humans, people from other countries who are not meant to be in your country, basicly illegal immigrants\n\nso they are the only real type of aliens

If you are referring to Aliens from beyond Earth, it would be more accurate to name them Space Visitors.  The term Alien can apply to many things.  There are many websites on the different life forms of the Space Visitors but there is not much truth on the psychology, economical and cultural systems.  On our level it is difficult to discuss the Space Visitors themselves without going beyond that point.  They are advanced beings that are loving, caring and very sensitive to not interfere with our culture.  Only the governments try to instill fear into us about them.  Advance lifeforms do not destroy life.  Life is created by Source and is highly respected.

Hell yes there are! I live in Texas and there are aliens everywhere and most of them don't have green cards! It cracks me up that they think they have the right to be here. And, they expect us to fork out our tax dollars to take care of them.

Personally, I don't think that aliens are us from the future, but I do believe in aliens and ufo's. I think that they are from other galaxies.  My husband believes that us humans are from other planets. He believes that we were brought here and placed in the area of earth that was similar to their planet in the galaxy, that is why we all look different. He thinks earth was colonized as maybe an experiment to see if beings from other planets could sustain on earth or maybe that the other planets were in trouble of some sort and aliens needed to leave their planet. He thinks that is why we have psychics, genius's, midgets, giants, etc. He thinks Walt Disnet may have descended from aliens because he says that guy was way before his time. I mean building an empire in the 1950's, same as the guy who wrote the wizard of oz, plus all the inventors. They have even said that there are portals in arizona and in the bermuda traingle. What do you people out there think????

At the present time, we just don't know.  If you saw pictures of aliens, what you saw were fake.  Nobody on earth has yet to produce a verifiable image, photographic, electronic or hand-drawn, of a living creature that originated elsewhere in the universe than from our home planet.  Nobody.\n\nAlso, at the present time, we suspect that there is no other planet in any nearby solar system that's host to a sentient race of beings like us.  That does not mean that some form of what we call "life" is impossible, but just think: out of the billions of living critters that now inhabit, or did in the past, our home planet, only one of those life forms evolved to the point where it (us) can even begin to think about such questions.  That by itself will tell ya we're sorta unique! ;-)\n\nIt sure would be interesting, wouldn't it?  But imagine if you will what it might be like if those alien creatures we fantasize about were an advanced race of carnivores that look upon us as another breed of cattle, fit only for eating!  Yow!  Or, how about if they were friendly, warm and fuzzy folks who just love to make nice with us - but they carry an infectious disease that there's no cure for.  Oh boy.  Or maybe, like Darth Vader, they just consider us a nusiance worthy of one blast from a super-mega cannon that blows Earth into dust?  Whoa!  Hey dude: you SURE you wanna meet aliens?  \n\nAll this is just idle speculation.  The hard fact is, even if there were creatures just like us somewhere in the universe, we are not gonna know about it, because the distances between them and us are just too great to permit interstellar travel, the hazards of such a trip are insurmountable, and no means of communication can travel fast enough for us to hear from them and be able to answer back.  Kind of a bummer, isn't it?

Yes we are aliens. And we have very powerful cameras on our ships, I can see you know, typing on your computer. Seriously, 600 pounds, and wearing spandex? You should be arrested!
