The immigration law uses this term to mean anyone who is a foreign citizen and not a citizen of the United States. A resident alien is a legal resident of the United States, but still an alien, and therefore subject to what is called exclusion (being kept out of the United States upon arriving or returning from abroad), and deportation (being sent back home once here).
