Editors' Note: In this text and supplement we do our best to avoid the term "alien" although it is used within the statutes and regulations. Instead, we will use the term "noncitizen" or "foreign national." At times we will use the plural pronouns "they or their" instead of using alternatives to reflect he, she, they, etc.
