If their not metahumans already, they probably figure that the kids must have the genetic potential to obtain powers! My guess is that the Light is trying to create their own villainous version of the "Team", made up of kids then turned into experiments (blockbuster/venom, cloning) and mindcontrolled minions (starro, scarabs). With the public turned against the JL for their alien members and failure to prevent an invasion, the Light will use its black-ops team to "eliminate" all extraterrestrials and their allies, aka the Justice League and the Team. Nothing will stop them from stepping into the public eye and bringing savage's insane dream to reality, unless of course their new alien partner, coughDarkseidcough, chooses around this time to doublecross them, and invade Earth!
