I should think you would have contemplated that before posting it. So far you have admitted to one and only one association with the current situation as a reason to post it. It has the word 'alien/s' in it. You have as much as admitted that you have no idea what principle it's supposed to convey, in or out of its original context. A Biblical factoid casually tossed into the mix with the intention that someone else figure out its relevance. I'll pass.
Actually, I do have an idea of the similarity, and it does potentially relate.
Show me where the Bible says to allow hordes of illegal aliens to invade and, ultimately, achieve their goal of overthrowing our government ... and, then perhaps we can have an intelligent discussion.

Just for the record, it's sometimes good to see what had generated a particular line of discussion. The question was a Bible question that asked "show me where...."
I did that, and it is a legitimate answer to the question.
Your question, "why is this citation relevant?" is also answered. It's relevant FIRST because it was an answer to a direct question.
There is also an application for those who choose to research it: God permitted the invasion of Canaan because the inhabitants had become extremely evil from God's perspective.
Was Canaan any more evil than California?
God only knows....
Another reason for the invasion, of course, was the fulfillment of prophecy which had already been spoken. That's a different subject, though.
