In U.S. law, an alien is a legal term for a person who is not a United States national. Visitors with the legal right to visit a country (which is foreign to them) may be called nonresident aliens of that country. Also see Resident Alien.
In the English language, a noun is a person, place or thing. Buyers cannot process requisitions unless a noun is used when describing the item being requested.
