A scientifically advanced alien civilization already would have figured out how to bend space and time to suit their own purposes. Therefore, no worrying about distance or how many lightyears away something is...
Human scientists are just beginning to realize the potential of this capability of the time-space continuum and therefore the primitive view of travel which you propose will hence become obsolete several centuries from now.
As for an advanced alien civilization visiting earth, do you really think they would want to contact a civilization that is in such a fucked-up state as we are? The first thing we would probably want to do is try to blow 'em out of the sky or experiment on them. Imagine the conversation:
Alien 1:"Let's go fuck around with the humans!"
Alien 2: "Those retards? Last time we sent a perfect prototype of their species over to Earth they tortured it and nailed it to a cross. Then they ended up...
- worshiping the fucker (when we took the prototype back 3 days later)
- writing a bunch of 'holy' manuals in an attempt to tell the story
- then to this day they fight over which version of the story is right.
They're idiots, I tell ya!"
Alien 1: "Forgot about that. Yeah, let's give em another thousand years to kill off the stupid ones or breed themselves into oblivion. It would have been fun to watch em scamper around thinking that we're the horsemen of their "apocalypse"
Alien 2: Hmmm, we'll just need to carry along Bob and Joe. Perhaps that would be fun. Let's make it an appointment. We'll meet up around December 2012, their time?"
Alien 1: Awesome! We have gotta post this on UniversalTube. Humans will be the laughing stock of all sentient beings!
