《Encounters Out There》It’s Not Always about Aliens

They came as refugees through a wormhole a sympathetic scientist had created—a one-way trip to escape enslavement and persecution. As a result, millions of humanoid aliens thrived on Earth …

Henry Smith, a farmer, and Marge, his wife, a social studies teacher, sat at their dining room table for breakfast.

"Henry, did you finish building the shed?"

"Nah, I'm going to hire some of those aliens. They can build anything in a matter of hours for cheap."

Marge smiled. "They sure are workaholics."

"Well, of course, Marge, they were evolved for labor … Oh, but look at this." He showed the front page of a holographic newspaper called 'For Humans' and scrolled through various headlines while reading them aloud. "Aliens and their sympathizers are marching the streets, seeking freedom and the right to vote. And see here. Alien welfare spending is increasing. Look at this. Property crimes are higher around alien colonies. And here. Humans are stockpiling weapons for protection."

"Oh, Henry. Are you still reading that politically biased nonsense? It's the history of our world, with locals exploiting, oppressing, and blaming immigrants. And stockpiling weapons for what?"

"Obviously, Marge, to defend themselves as is their right."

"Stockpiling weapons is another excuse to suppress what they fear, an alien takeover or sharing power with aliens. You know, Henry, life is much more complex. It's not always about aliens."
