The reason is, that even if the aliens use the same genetic code as we do, this still makes it highly improbable that the identical sequence bits always code for the same aminoacids in humans and wess'har.

 Crossing the Line by Karen Traviss - Official sffworld.com review
Traviss picks up the story of Shan Frankland soon after the ending of the previous novel, as Shan slowly realizes the full consequences of what happened to her in the closing scenes of City of Pearl.
In the character of Shan Frankland, there is much conflict, she is often torn between her feelings as a human and her responsibilities towards her newly adopted home world of Cavanagh’s Star.
Shan holds something the people of Earth want to use as a weapon, something that if used as a weapon, could have disastrous effects on both human civilization and the world of Cavanagh.

On the other hand the armed forces on the expedition are all rational, willing to deal with the aliens and their regulations and perfectly fine with abandoning the interests of their own species.

 Conspiracy with the Aliens!? - Insomniac Mania
I guarantee that if one we were to make contact with aliens and it became publicly known, there would be an intergalactic war within a hundred years.
In the case we do make contact with Aliens, we have to be extremely careful, for even a hand shake could be offensive to them.
Personally I think we can all admit the concept of aliens invading is a cool idea that we have all wished at some point in our lives would happen, because it's something we would all like to see in our lifetime due to our fascination with the whole meaning of the universe and stuff.

 Locke and Walnut Grove--Reading 3
The Chung Shan Chinese were a minority within the larger Chinese immigrant population in the United States.
Because the State of California's Alien Land Law of 1913 prevented aliens--including the Chinese--who were not American-born from owning land, a committee of Chinese merchants obtained a verbal lease from George Locke who owned the land in the Delta region.
Although the Alien Land Laws were eventually ruled unconstitutional, the residents of Locke never purchased the land upon which their houses were built.

The story line not only has to have an alien as a major factor in it, but the alien(s) must be seen, in one form or another, during the majority of the film.
Where Alien set the stage with frightfully realistic alien creatures, and Aliens showed how the resilient the human condition could be and Alien 3 took on an extremely effective art-deco feel to the alien threat, the combination of all three movies simply excels on all levels.
The aliens are nasty both in their looks and disposition, and our reaction to them is proportionally hateful - as it should be.

 Back To Gods Country And Other Stories eBook by James Oliver Curwood
When Shan Tung, the long-cued Chinaman from Vancouver, started up the Frazer River in the old days when the Telegraph Trail and the headwaters of the Peace were the Meccas of half the gold-hunting population of British Columbia, he did not foresee tragedy ahead of him.
But he could not look forty years into the future, and when Shan Tung set off into the north, that winter, he was in reality touching fire to the end of a fuse that was to burn through four decades before the explosion came.
Of two things Shan Tung was enormously proud in his silent and mysterious oriental way—­of Tao, the dog, and of his long, shining cue which fell to the crook of his knees when he let it down.

If aliens are indeed visiting the Earth—as quite literally thousands of people assert and have asserted for decades—then one of the biggest and most important questions that requires both asking and answering, is surely: why are they here?
Recently even Patriotlad stated that he didn't want to believe the David Icke paradigm that Dark Alien Overlords were secretly and silently running the financial dynastic families and the planet, but he seemed to state that he has a degree of open mindedness towards the concept.
Crudely simplified, he was the first scientist to suggest that UFO experiences are in fact interactions with interdimensional beings that have always existed among us—invisible hands toying with human society from a different level of consciousness.

 Texans arraigned in North Dakota on illegal aliens charge
Shan Wei Yu, 51, of McKinney, Texas, and An Dong Cen, 35, of Houston, are accused of conspiring with the help of others to recruit more than 50 illegal aliens in Texas to work in Asian restaurants in the Dakotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Ohio, in addition to Michigan, U.S. Attorney Drew Wrigley said Monday.
Authorities said the investigation began last August, when border patrol agents apprehended two illegal aliens near Grand Forks who had been working at the Buffet House restaurant in the city but had left because of long hours and low pay.
Agents eventually arrested five illegal aliens and restaurant owner Yun Di Lu and Hong Peng, who both pleaded guilty late last year to harboring illegal aliens.
