All life on Earth is illegal immigrants from another planet.

  Only if the earth was seeded with life.

    Which is possible, at least from sites elsewhere in the young solar system. Life might have originated on Mars, for example, or perhaps in one of many small, warm, wet asteroids. These early asteroids were kept from freezing up by the presence of short lived radioisotopes, the decay products of which are detectable today in parts of meteorites.

    Which seems to be quite possible. This is what we have from just one mission: https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Rosetta/Rosetta_s_comet_contains_ingredients_for_life https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Rosett...

  Sorry, I was only joking. Someone got busy seriously down voting! Maybe wrong times to utter the phrase "illegal immigrants". I get it.

    Well, I for the count of one, didn't think it bad, but thought provoking. We're all immigrants, when you get deep into it (speaking from Europe, where we usurped previously native folk some 1500 years ago), and we all came from Africa anyway. But, yeah, political implications nowadays are a slippery slope.
