Yes, I'm not sure why but it's true.
Note from asker:
Thanks. Is that true in the U.S. sometimes foreigners are refered to as 'aliens'?
Peer comment(s):

agree karcsy : alien as noun means foreigner & extra-terrestrial (ET) beings
3 hrs
agree Geof Aberhart (X) : And it means both because 'alien' comes from Latin 'alienus', meaning 'of or belonging to another'
