In U.S. Law , an alien is a person who owes political Allegiance to another country or government and not a native or Naturalized Citizen of the land where they are found. Types of "alien" persons are:

  • An alien who is legally permitted to remain in a country which is foreign to him or her. On specified terms, this kind of alien may be called a legal alien of that country.

  • An alien who has temporary or Permanent Residence in a country (which is foreign to him/her) may be called a resident alien of that country.

  • A visitor with the legal right to visit a country (which is foreign to him/her) may be called a nonresident alien of that country.

  • The term Illegal Alien commonly refers to a foreign national who resides in another country unlawfully, either by entering that country at a place other than a designated port-of-entry or as result of the expiration of a non-immigrant Visa . The important distinction is that this person intends to remain in the country indefinitely. A tourist who has the present intent to leave would be included as a legal alien described above. Today the preferred term by the politically correct is ''illegal immigrant'' because the word ''alien'' has become unpopular.

  • An Enemy Alien is an alien who is designated as an enemy; compare to Enemy Combatant .
