"Nothing human is alien to me". That's translated from an ancient Roman quote. The word "alien" used to just mean "strange", it didn't mean extraterrestrial until the 1920's. These people are dumber than shit. But as a human, I understand. Being dumb is easy.
I think "foreign" might be a better translation. Foreigners in their non-native country have been called "aliens" for centuries, regardless of their legal status. See the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798 in the USA, for example.
