nah.. there's more, as a legal alien, you can't work for government (which citizenship is a requirement, even in Post Office), you get different coverage on some insurance (e.g. some give the citizen 100% coverage while legal alien only get 85%).
even a legal alien become a US citizen, he/she can't run for presidency thanks to "you're not born here" constitution(hellooo, Mr. Arnold~).
and there's more.. maybe just some little things you will encounter in US that make you feel like "second-class" or even worse... however, we usuallly don't pay too much attention to it until we face by ourselves.. my best bud's girlfriend who's from Bulgeria haven't received her H1B visa this year.. that really make my bud began to think little more about "alien"s.... sorry..these "alien"s are not from Mars, so no need to concern...
