Question 22 • SSHS IUS002 US History II
Answer:
Both legal and illegal aliens belong to countries outside of the ones in which they currently live. The main difference between them is their status in the country in which they are living. A legal alien is a person who is not a citizen, but has permission to be in the country. An illegal alien is someone who belongs to another country and has come to the country they are living in without permission of the national government.
