Freedom of Speech (did I miss something?)

[kandrathe]

aliens

Workers. "Aliens" is such a dehumanizing, jingoist (and racist) term, even if that wasn't the context you were using it in. As if people from another country are not humans at all and are to be viewed as some foreign species that is a threat to our way of life.

I mean it in the Latin, meaning foreigner;

alien (n.)
"foreigner, citizen of a foreign land," early 14c., from alien (adj.) or from noun use of the adjective in French and Latin. Meaning "residing in a country not of one's birth" is from mid-15c.

ξένος works, but it more means "Stranger". Someone I don't know.
