Under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), an alien is a person who does not hold U.S. citizenship and is not a U.S. citizen. The INA defines a citizen of the United States as a person who, although not a citizen, owes enduring loyalty to the United States. Personal loyalty is owed to the United States if that person has taken an oath of naturalization. The federal diversity jurisdiction allows for actions in which a party brings a lawsuit between different citizens with a foreign national as an additional designated party on one or both sides of the claim. The alienation must exist at the time the cause of action begins. However, if a lawsuit begins in which foreigners fall on both sides of the trial, but citizens fall on only one side or no side, then diversity jurisdiction fails. Any person or entity participating in a scheme or practice of violation of subparagraphs (a) (1) (A) or (a) (2) shall be liable to a fine of not more than $3,000 for each unauthorized alien against whom such a violation is committed, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months for the whole purpose or practice, or both; notwithstanding the provisions of any other federal legislation on monetary penalties. When providing documents or visas authorizing aliens (other than aliens legally admitted to permanent residence) admitted to work in the United States, the Attorney General must provide that any restrictions on the period or type of employment or employer must be clearly indicated on the documents or note. U.S.

courts generally grant non-resident aliens the right to sue only if the cause of action arose in the United States. However, a number of recent U.S. Supreme Court cases have concluded that non-resident aliens who are served by U.S. forces can sue in U.S. federal court. See Belligerent Powers.

In this section, the term „illegal alien” in connection with the employment of an alien at a particular time means that the alien is neither (A) an alien lawfully admitted to permanent residence at that time, nor (B) authorized to do so under this chapter or by the Attorney General. When invoking jurisdiction over federal matters, federal laws grant aliens access to the federal judicial system in three scenarios: allegations of civil rights violations by the federal government, allegations of violations of equality protection clauses by the federal government, and allegations of violations of the 1980 Refugee Act. For the purposes of this Section, a natural person or other legal entity using a contract, subcontract or exchange concluded after 6. November 1986 was completed, renegotiated, or renewed in order to maintain an alien`s workforce in the United States, knowing that the alien is an unauthorized alien (as defined in subsection (h)(3)) with respect to the performance of that work, the alien is deemed to have ceased employment in the United States in violation of paragraph 1(A).

Therefore, the U.S. Constitution allows Congress to delineate the rights, duties, and duties that accompany legal immigration status. However, the power of Congress in this area must be consistent with the restriction that any law that results in unequal treatment of aliens and citizens must relate to a legitimate objective that affects immigration law.
