	Alien Nation (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alien Nation is a 1988 science fiction movie written by Rockne S. O'Bannon and directed by Graham Baker.
		The movie is set in an Earth in which a flying saucer bearing enslaved aliens (the "Newcomers") from the planet Tencton has crash-landed in the Mojave Desert.
		Los Angeles becomes a new home for the aliens, who take Earth-like names (such as "Rudyard Kipling").

	DVDFILE.COM: Alien Nation review
		Alien Nation is presented in Dolby Digital 4.1, utilizing discrete left, center, right and mono surround channels with low end augmentation from the.1.
		I've heard the soundtracks for the three sci-fi releases from Fox this month (Alien Nation, Enemy Mine and Zardoz) and Alien Nation is definitely the best sounding of the bunch, just as it probably should be, given it's the most recent of the three.
		Is also helps that the lead characters have enough personality, and the film contains enough interesting surprises, to set Alien Nation apart from most of the Lethal Weapon imitators of the 80's.

	Melting Pot Meltdown
		Indeed, one of Alien Nation's most astonishing visions is that of Ted Kennedy swearing up and down on the Senate floor that the new bill would not result a million Third World immigrants flooding into our cities every year, and that the "ethnic mix" of this country would not be upset.
		Jack Miles, whose generally favorable review of Alien Nation appears in the April issue of The Atlantic Monthly, feels that this is impractical, and that given the heavily armed 40 percent Hispanic minority in cities like Los Angeles this would be a virtual declaration of civil war.
		Here is the opening paragraph from Alien Nation, where Brimelow establishes his main theme: that our current immigration policy was never actually thought out at all, by anyone, but is simply a well-intentioned, rather mindless, accident; an accident which may nevertheless have enormous unintended consequences.

	Alien Nation
		Also in the movie Alien Nation, the newcomers were supposedly as strong as 10 humans, but this strength would come and go on the TV series.
		Jumped when the alien let the human bang his wife, the male was the one who got pregnant, and the double vagina thing made no sense...but it made no sense in a way which confused the viewer so badly, the viewer thought he or she was the only one confused.
		As to the male alien being pregnant, I thought the scene that showed the actual birth was incredibly daring, and was executed beautifully.

	Alien Nation
		The alien bodies recalled by several eyewitnesses were in fact a combination of injured pilots and lifelike crash dummies, according to the recently released Air Force report on Roswell.
		Specifically, it was the knowledge that aliens did crash at Roswell and the subsequent opportunity to utilize their advanced technology, which gave humanity the power to unite and to finally set itself free.
		The proliferation of UFO museums during the past 10 years and the increasing popularity of alien films is testament to the readiness of the American public to accept the fact of alien life without losing its collective mind, claims Hesemann.

	Alien Nation Review: Commentary, May 1995
		As for a national identification card, this is a proposal with some merit but, again, one that faces political opposition from both ends of the spectrum and is thus a long way from becoming law.
		He also ignores abundant evidence that individualism, an important dimension of the national culture he seeks to protect, is thriving among immigrants today.
		As for Brimelow's warning that immigration is degrading the character of American society, the alarm bells he sounds on this score do not ring in harmony with the firm data we have on the pace at which assimilation—linguistic, cultural, and economic—is proceeding among most immigrant groups today.

	Alien Nation: Common Sense About America's Immigration Disaster
		He maintains that a nation is constituted by a common ethnic heritage: sufficiently diversify a country racially and you cease to have a nation.
		But the Universal Nation of Ben Wattenberg and his cohorts is a contradiction in terms: a nation of its essence partakes of the particular.
		By advancing this definition, Brimelow commits himself neither to saying that all residents of a nation must be of the same race nor to asserting that those of the dominant group should have more political rights than others.

	Stalking the Wild Taboo - Jackson - Review of Alien Nation
		It was, of course, the Immigration and Nationality Act Amendments of 1965 that, in an atmosphere of thoughtlessness and stupidity, greatly increased the number of immigrants and almost completely changed their countries of origin.
		For some nationalities welfare is a way of life; nearly half of all Cambodians and Laotians suckle at the public teat, as do a quarter of all Vietnamese.
		Brimelow argues, it is clearly up to the proponents of this unprecedented upheaval to justify their position, yet the nation and the media have never forced them to do so.

	Alien Nation
		Almost any objective reader of Alien Nation would reach the same conclusion, if by "racist" we mean a person who is conscious of the existence of races, doesn't feel obliged to pretend that he isn't conscious, and also doesn't mind saying that he prefers his own race.
		He understands and is not afraid to state, for example, that a nation (as the etymology of the word indicates) is really an extended family, in which every citizen is linked to every other by birth and blood.
		That just seems too devious and unnatural for non-Jews to grasp, and so patriotic organizations, ranging from the National Rifle Association and various citizens' militias to immigration reform groups, usually are overjoyed to have a few "patriotic" Jews volunteering to help them.

	Creation of an "Alien Nation"
		A chilling example of Alien Nation's failure to appreciate history is the peculiar discussion of the United States' horrible treatment of Jews fleeing the persecution of Nazi Germany.
		Indeed, the central thesis of Alien Nation is that the race and culture of many of today's immigrants pose a serious threat to the nation as we know it.
		Many other historical errors and omissions in Alien Nation can be identified, including the book's failure to acknowledge the excesses of the exclusion laws directed at Chinese immigrants in the 1800s, which Congress passed in response to appeals remarkably similar to those made by today's nativists.

	Alien Nation Movies, the Newcomers from Space
		In the original "Alien Nation", escaped slaves from the planet of Tencton came to earth in search of sanctuary.
		"Alien Nation: Dark Horizon" continues the story, once again focusing on George, a Tencton who joined the police force, and his partner Matt.
		Alien Nation began a regular movie in theaters, then as a 2-hour pilot (tv-movie), then a tv series, then some tv-movies:

	Immigrations Human Cost
		The park is "under siege" and is listed as one of the nation's 10 most endangered because of the torrent of illegal aliens and drugs flowing through that area of the border.
		The explosion of the underground illegal alien economy is becoming anarchy, threatening dire results for the tax base, fewer available jobs for citizens and the rule of law itself.
		However, if the illegal alien had been deported in 1998 when he had been arrested for grabbing a Brunswick woman on the street and holding a knife to her throat, all of this violence might have been avoided.

	'Anchors' in third of alien families - Nation/Politics - The Washington Times, America's Newspaper
		Nearly one-third of families headed by illegal aliens have children who are U.S. citizens, according to a new study that also found that since the 1990s, more foreigners have entered the U.S. illegally than legally.
		The Pew study shows a complex picture of illegal aliens, including that illegal alien men are more likely to be in the work force than U.S.-born men, while illegal alien women are substantially less likely to be working than U.S.-born women.
		It also says that of the 10.3 million illegal aliens here in 2004, 5.9 million or 57 percent are Mexican, and another 2.5 million or 24 percent are from other Latin American countries.

	Alien Nation Review: Has the Melting Pot Begun to Boil?
		If Brimelow is wrong in his superheated claim that the post-1965 immigration has resulted in a "demographic mutation" that threatens the very survival of the American nation, he is on stronger ground in arguing that our society may be much less capable of absorbing newcomers than in the past.
		The central thesis of this volume is that over the past three decades immigration has become "so huge and so systematically different from anything that had gone before as to transform -- and ultimately, perhaps, even to destroy -- the.
		The most recent immigrant wave has crested on our shores at a time when the melting-pot ideal has been under assault and the concept of "Americanization" is frowned upon in enlightened circles.

	Amazon.com: Books: Alien Nation: Common Sense About America's Immigration Disaster
		Well, judging by the foresight demonstrated in "Alien Nation," Peter Brimelow is probably one of the Americans least surprised by all this.
		Brimelow argues that our environment is endangered, our public health threatened, our economy strained, our national unity diluted, and our politics fragmented?all by an immigration policy that is out of control and captive to a ruling "elite," which he associates with the liberal establishment and political correctness.
		His emphasis on the fact that the US was/is a primarily white nation is not racist; it's merely stating fact.

	The Public Square
		The most frequent criticism of Alien Nation is that Brimelow includes also a racialist (many say racist) argument that, without major changes in immigration policy, whites will in the not-so-distant future be a minority in America.
		Any nation is a nation among nations, each being defined by not being the other, and by the culture and experience of a particular people.
		In these pages I argued that the real problem of "aliens" among us is represented not by immigrants but by the urban underclass and the intellectual overclass, both of whom are profoundly alienated from the rights and responsibilities of the American experience (see "The Aliens Among Us," The Public Square, August/September 1993).

	Reason magazine -- June 1995. John J. Miller.
		Alien Nation is ostensibly a set of marching orders, a book that could do for immigration what Dinesh D'Souza did for political correctness or what David Brock did for Anita Hill.
		Alien Nation spends so much time blaming so many things on immigrants that it rarely bothers to stop, take a deep breath, and focus on one matter at a time.
		To engage its topic seriously, Alien Nation would have to dispense with its ad hominem cynicism and deliver a full-blown discussion of the good, bad, and unquantifiable impacts of immigrants on our economy, culture, and society.

	Illegal Mexican Immigration Invasion - Nation of Aztlan Act of War
		The so-called "La Raza Nation of Aztlan" contradicts the very definition of "nation" and is outright war against the very principles and tenants upon which the United States of America was founded and flourished.
		U.S. Intelligence and Military are concerned that 'illegal alien' pipelines have become open conduits for smuggling Al Qaida Terrorists across the border and into the United States, to say nothing of the documented narcotics trafficking connections.
		The National Research Council has estimated that the net fiscal cost of immigration ranges from $11 billion to $22 billion per year, with most government expenditures on immigrants coming from state and local coffers, while most taxes paid by immigrants go to the federal treasury.

	Science Fiction Writer Robert J. Sawyer: On Alien Nation
		And it was established in the Alien Nation movie that Tenctonese could undergo limited bodily metamorphoses.
		I've heard other SF writers slag the Tenctonese as being the least convincing aliens in SF in years — just humans with spots on their heads.
		I honestly thought it a better SF series than Star Trek: The Next Generation, and I found the Tenctonese aliens it portrayed endlessly fascinating.

		The arguments of the far right I can deal with: they are essentially the same old British eurosceptic arguments of loss of sovereignty, decline of national identity and so on.
		The French debate on the European Union constitution, or to be more accurate the arguments put forward by the mainstream left against that much-maligned treaty, is slowly forcing me to conclude that there exists a place called Planet France.

	VDARE.com: 12/06/04 - Afterword to the Harper Collins Paperback Edition Of Alien Nation
		Alien Nation ("one of the most widely discussed books of 1995"—Jerry Adler, Newsweek) was published in April and was immediately and almost universally reviewed, somewhat to my surprise although not, I must say in tribute to their professional judgment, to that of my hardcover publishers, Random House.
		Or did it instead just burble on about the glories of immigration in principle, missing Alien Nation's key point—that the operations of 1965 Act in practice have resulted in an influx far larger, less skilled and far more dominated by a few Third World sources than anything envisaged at the time.
		Some time before Alien Nation was published, a famous sociologist was talking to a private dinner group in New York about a controversial question of the day.

		Because their ultimate goal is to facilitate our nation’s eventual collapse, they endeavor to undermine its every effort to protect itself — even from the bloody ravages of terrorism.
		We are, as a nation, at a crossroads where, if we do not choose to come together as a people — regardless of race — we will perish.
		In a recent National Black Politics survey, fully two-thirds of black respondents called Farrakhan “a good leader.” In 1996 the National Newspaper Publishers Association, which represents 200 black-owned publishers, gave Farrakhan its “Newsmaker of the Year” award — for which one criterion was the demonstration of “a higher level of moral authority.”

	SoundtrackNet : Alien Nation (rejected) Soundtrack
		With the then-pending Russia House love theme as the main highlight, the score for Alien Nation is also appealing because it was performed by Goldsmith himself.
		Given the tense relations between humans and Newcomers, Goldsmith's version of Alien Nation paints an anxiety-prone, austere environment with occasional respites of lightness and compassion.
		It is with sheer inventiveness and borrowed bits and pieces of previous works that he manages to achieve a number of effects and moods without the use of real instruments.
