Although I prefer B), I am OK with A) as long as we don't get "C) it will be
a travesty of the original work the way most SF movies are".

I'd go with "nothing" except both involve apparent humans. I tried saying
that twice, actually, although not as overtly.

You could argue it's an invasion but if it is, it's a benign one. (I'm in
the "no barriers to immigration, no welfarestate benefits to immigrants (or
anyone else" camp, of course).
I'd prefer to think of it as a natural migration... and one that if Vincente
Fox gets anywhere with his reforms) might well reverse or at least slow
down. It's just people voting with their feet. That's (in my book) always a
good thing.
