[Editor's Note: Throughout this website the term "illegal immigration" refers to our general topic. The term "alien" refers to all non-U.S. nationals and to all non-U.S. citizens. The term "immigrant" refers to an alien with lawful permanent resident status who has been granted the right by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service to reside permanently and to work without restrictions in the United States. The term "illegal alien" will be used for aliens who have entered the United States without authorization and who are deportable if apprehended, or who entered the United States legally but who have fallen "out of status" and are deportable also.]
