Probably not. Just being capable of interstellar spaceflight opens up some really nice ways to kill a lot of people, such as redirecting asteroids. Or just drop nuclear bombs from orbit. Nothing we could do. Also, what if the aliens show up with more soldiers than we have people?

For all we know they already fired a death laser that we'll never know until we're dead.

i mean we could totally do that, if you gave space programs a few trillion (which is the level of funding an alien invasion would cause) we could probably move asteroids within a decade

and we already can move asteroids, just not much

What I mean is, there's nothing we could do if the aliens did that to us.
