Imagine a community of aliens visits earth, and they decide to join.
This community, this species, is not much smarter, or more advanced, in any noticeable way, than Humans.
We can't even get along with each other; how would we get along with aliens? People are already good enough at coming up with reasons to hate other groups of people, like their religion (or lack thereof), or the color of their skin. A lot of people already hate illegal human aliens, so imagine how they would react to actual aliens! The aliens would end up being treated like garbage, and if they had enough firepower to make us think twice about oppressing them via conventional methods then we would probably start a war with them instead.
...unless they had nukes and were willing to use them. Then we would just glare menacingly at them from a thousand miles away while our politicians shouted empty rhetoric. Paint me pessimistic.
