Sorry, alien doesn’t always refer to extraterrestrial life. They’re just as human as anyone else, they just don’t belong here in their current legal status. Resident aliens also exist - they’re the people who came in legally and are not yet naturalized as citizens of this country. You might be about pull out the “no human is illegal” axiom against me, to which I’ll respond, it is not illegal for them to be human. It’s illegal for them to be here as they are, like any other form of trespassing. If they come here legally, according to law and custom, then they’re Americans - or at least they’re resident aliens working for the benefit of America.
