As you could expect, the Alien Amnesty Act is a pretty divisive issue.
People in this world dont have much tolerance for others who look different, says Jonn.
He doesnt think humans and aliens mixing would turn out too well.

But Kara wont let Jonn kill her vibe, because shes way too hyped about meeting the president.
After a meeting at work, Kara flies off to meet President Marsdin at the airfield.
An alien with fire powers attacks her as she disembarks Air Force One.
Luckily, Supergirl is there to protect her.
Alex immediately assumes its Mon-El the burn pattern matches those made by heat vision but Kara isnt so sure.
While surveying the scene, Alex meets Det.
Maggie Sawyer, there to investigate the incident.
(Also, the chemistry between these two is palpable from their first meeting).
Meanwhile, Alex reluctantly works with Maggie to track down Mon-El.
Maggie takes her to an alien speakeasy to dig up some intel.
Hes trying to get in touch with the planet of Daxam, Kryptons sister planet.
While Krypton was a democracy, Daxam was a monarchy that ruled a population of hoodlums.
Revealing Karas implicit biases is a smart move on the writers part.
It humanizes her and reveals shes just as flawed as the rest of us.
The thing about superheroes is we dont need them to be perfect.
In fact, perfect superheroes are boring and uninspiring.
The Statue of Liberty will stand for aliens, too, she says.
Theres actually a viable presidential candidate saying the complete opposite of what President Marsdin articulates here.
Unfortunately, the moment is interrupted by Scorcher, who attacks the event with her fire powers.
Supergirl manages to protect the president again, but amidst the chaos, Scorcher kidnaps Maggie Sawyer.
Theres reason to be scared.
Eventually, Supergirl and Alex show up and with some help from Maggie, take out Scorcher.
Back at the DEO, the Danver sisters own up to their own biases.
Meanwhile, Kara frees Mon-El from his cell and apologizes for the way she treated him.
However, she also informs him that Daxam, like Krypton, is no more.
You have to live in it, too.
Miss Martian, the last daughter of Mars.
