Aliens are a menace in Western imagination because it's a reflection of the colonization mentality. This same mentality is present in the right wing xenophobia, they fear immigrants will do to them the same Europeans did to other peoples, like in the theory of the great replacement. Definitely, colonization is at the heart of the ideology that supports capitalism today.
