How come?
The obvious reason that the public does not know about the Aliens by the time of the Alien movies for one. Plus, in every single Alien film - including AVP - we were ALWAYS told that if the aliens ever got to civilization, it would be the end of Earth. Well... apparently it's not gonna be the end of Earth, apparently things turned out just fine and nobody ever even knew it happened!
Which makes Ripley (and Lex, I suppose) seem like a lunatic alarmist.It just wreaks havoc on the continuity and themes of the Alien franchise. They might be able to write around the continuity, but there's no fixing the fact that the aliens obviously AREN'T going to breed to the point of complete human genocide.

And even Morton Downey Jr... 
Well, they did, until he got all well-known and showed up in like, Twister and crap. But he was awesome as a character actor, we all remember Hudson fondly.
