Alien, why? Is the legal system in US discriminatory in nature on purpose?

 While during colonization the term Alien did occur and it originated from in Latin usage to indicate foreign slaves, why does the Supreme Court of United States finding the term Alien appropriate to describe foreigners even today. It is a derogatory term used to indicate some one as inferior or even sub-human. It is certainly indicating the citizens of United States is somehow the only original form of species called humans.

The British did use the term Alien to refer to foreigners, the Aliens Act of 1905, which was basically to discern “undesirable immigrants”. Subsequently under British Nationality Law, there was the British Nationality and Status of Alien act 1914, which later became British Nationality Act 1948. At present as per Cornell University online Library “Alien is a legal term that refers to any person who is not a citizen or a national of the US as listed in the immigration and Nationality Act (INA). Another country Dominica does uses the term with regard to land holdings, 1988 Aliens Land Holding Regulation Act of Dominica but with regard to citizenship or non-citizens this term is not used.

Why is the United States continuing to use the term Alien which is derogatory, discriminatory all towards the purpose of looking down on someone who is different and not part of the original. When the legal system itself sanctions the use of this derogatory term then is it surprising that the Police Force would ignore human rights consideration when dealing with Aliens.

The world is inhabited by around 8.2 billion members of human race, out of which 4.2 percentage reside within United States, then how is that 4.2 percentage of human race of earth can decide rest of the world population are alien. It is not that America is not aware of the wrong use of the terms, for if it did believe Aliens are just a flight away, then there is no need for funding NASA and SpaceX to find any form of Alien life in outer space.

The use of term Alien is conscious and it’s done to indicate discrimination, more so now than any other time. The Alien’s Enemies Act refers to wartime situation and presence of Aliens in US, the rationale to give sweeping powers to President, but there isn’t any wartime situation in the US.  According to AI overview, though there isn’t single definition for wartime situation, the legal framework refers to situation of armed conflict, both officially declared wars and other armed conflicts between states or between states and non-state actors.  This is not the American reality at present, then the only reason President’s Executive Order on the Alien’s Enemies Act of 1798 is receiving any support from legal system is because the law upholds discrimination against outsiders and considers them Aliens and in the process sanctions dehumanizing of them and any actions against the dehumanized population gains acceptance among certain segments of the American population.

The greatest act of discrimination is the declaration that any immigrant who does not register under Alien Registration Act will be picked up and deported to where ever convenient. This is a clear use of power to ensure the immigrant population registers and can be part of surveillance system, besides that it is also a way to reduce national debt. Each person based on whether the applicant is an Alien Fiancée, relative or even a person on Parole, all would pay over $600 for registration fee, which would average that around $630 each will be paid by 11 million unregistered Aliens. This would be mean a direct way to collect 7.150 billion dollars from the poor in America to reduce the National Debt. Nothing surprising when US President does consider the chaos, sudden unexpected firing of personnel from Federal Services to be normal and sees it as a way to reduce National debt.

Does the Supreme Court of United States consider it Fair and Just in 21^st century, to call 95.8 percent of world population as Aliens or those who are outside human race or are sub-human?
