   I suppose as long as the aliens stick to just anal probing and then   
   going home again there is no real danger of immigration having much of   
   an effect on *global* population. Except perhaps for the fact that   
   moving to a new country does tend to increase the chances that you will   
   breed, if for no other reason than the fact that you fancy somebody   
   around you who doesn't instinctively fear or hate you.
