|The film carries an implicit promotion of national borders and legal immigration/assimilation, as the titular organization keeps the existence of extraterrestrial immigrants secret and allows them in so long as the specifically make sure they undergo naturalization first and that they obey certain laws. In addition, the opening scene has Kay and his partner stopping attempted illegal immigrants from crossing into the country and was implied to be working alongside the ICE and border patrol to prevent illegal immigrants into the country while trying to prevent a literal illegal alien, Mikey, from entering the country illegally, with the alien being depicted in a negative light due to him trying to kill an ICE agent before being atomized by Kay. Also condemns terrorism, as the main villain, Edgar the Bug, arrived on Earth to personally assassinate two extraterrestrial diplomats of two warring civilizations specifically to engineer a war with Earth and thus allow his kind to feast on any killed in battle. There's also a subtle mocking of the liberal news rag ''New York Times'', where one of the characters, Kay, when explaining to Jay that he was searching via tabloid articles, suggested he could use the ''New York Times'' as searching for information as "they sometimes get it right", implying that the ''New York Times'' was less reliable than tabloid articles.
