Speaking of definitions, here are 52 of them in the law.
USC 8 Sec. 1101
(3) The term "alien" means any person not a citizen or national of the United States
(23) The term "naturalization" means the conferring of nationality of a state upon a person after birth, by any means whatsoever.
(such as one of the several States of America issuing a birth certificate to a child of two aliens, perhaps? hmmmmm)
Those two are a couple of my favorites. Here are two more...
(21) The term "national" means a person owing permanent allegiance to a state.
(such as "foreign" national? hmmmmmmm)
(22) The term "national of the United States" means (A) a citizen of the United States, or (B) a person who, though not a citizen of the United States, owes permanent allegiance to the United States.
(3) The term "alien" means any person not a citizen or national of the United States
(22) The term "national of the United States" means (A) a citizen of the United States...
Why isn't the definition of alien just...not a national of the United States?
(3) The term "alien" means any person not a citizen or national of the United States...

no different than minting ‘Americans’ via the magic pixie dust of American soil.
