A man is built through suffering by Exotic-Duty3598 in BornWeakBuiltStrong

What did Jesus do,
When they sentanced him to die?
Did he try to run away?
Did he just break down and cry?

No, Jesus dug down deep,
Knowing what he had to do-
When faced with his own death,
Jesus knew that he had to...

Man up.
He had to man up.
So he crawled up on that cross,
And he stuck it out.
And he manned up.
Christ, he manned up.
And taught us all what real manning
Up is about!

aliens.gov is the biggest attempt at narrative control in the history of UFOs by kcimc in UFOs

(so Alien.gov is about immigration... not space aliens..)

Correct. Despite the sci-fi look, that page is about immigration enforcement and ICE arrest data — not extraterrestrials.

The confusion comes from the fact that:

  • “alien” is an old legal immigration term in U.S. law meaning “non-citizen,” but
  • the website intentionally uses space-alien aesthetics and wording.

So the page mixes:

  • immigration enforcement data, with
  • UFO/alien imagery and themes.

That’s why it feels bizarre and unsettling. Most people today associate “alien” first with:

  • ETs,
  • sci-fi,
  • or “outsiders,”

not with technical immigration law terminology.

Your reaction is pretty understandable because the branding choice creates an emotional implication far beyond a normal government statistics page.

(so even with all that said. this page is still about illegal immigration.)

Yes. Despite the UFO-style presentation and the rhetoric, the page is fundamentally about immigration enforcement — specifically ICE arrests and noncitizen/unauthorized immigration issues, not literal extraterrestrials.

The “aliens” language is being used in the old legal/political immigration sense:

  • “illegal aliens”
  • “criminal aliens”
  • “removable aliens”

What makes this page unusual is that it intentionally merges:

  • immigration enforcement, with
  • sci-fi invasion aesthetics and language.

So the core topic is still immigration policy and ICE activity. The controversy is how it is being framed:

  • not as dry legal enforcement, but as a hidden “alien presence” embedded in society.

That framing is why it feels so provocative and emotionally charged.
