Most of our problems are from within our own borders.  We have a lot of scared people right now, people who know we no longer have control of anything: government, economy, a stable job, a reliable food supply, etc.
I guess it's easier to prepare for an invasion from without, than face the problems from within.

Have to agree.  A population thats uninformed, broke, and restless is far more scary than aliens.
