Many of our galaxy's star clusters may actually foreigners: collections of stars that were born elsewhere and then migrated to our Milky Way, according to a new study.
The foreign-born star clusters actually make up about one-quarter of the Milky Way globular star cluster system, researchers found.

Illegal aliens?
I read an interesting article that stated that our solar system is NOT a part of the Milky Way galaxy, but rather another galaxy in the process of colliding with the MWG. Perhaps that is where the other stars are coming from - unless they are from the William Morris agency.
That is, star clusters resist break-up.
Could be they hitch rides from galaxy to galaxy to find new biologically rich feeding grounds (which, for advanced civilizations actually means sources of calcium, iron, sodium, and so forth that are required for life).
Well, I expect them to at least speak Milkywayish if they want to stay here.
Migrated? How about being sucked in by the Black Hole in the center of the Milky Way.
fortunately, none have originated from Uranus
That’s what happens when the Kodans break thru the Frontier Barrier.

There’s a lot of things to worry about these days, but alien star clusters isn’t one of them.
LaStarza. Front group designed to lump up the Milky Way and then smoothe the transition.
Billions and billions to follow.
What about cockroach clusters? (Monty Python ping.)
Last Starfighter...that was on cable TV over the weekend! Classic cheesy sci-fi!

If the universe is actually expanding from some sort of an original “big bang(TM)” as we read, then alien star clusters in our own galaxy should not be possible.
I’m not a fan of the bbang model.
