The wording of "alien" is pretty disturbing in and of itself. Not illegal or anything, not "foreign", but "alien". Might as well just say "unwanted".

There are a whole lot of aliens with citizenship. Both people that have naturalized and citizens born abroad to American parents.

Yup, just the word itself has a very strong connotation to something negative or dangerous, so I doubt it's by accident that they chose this word.

Hello, puny earthlings, it is I, the Alien. Surrender, or you shall suffer.
