Alien doesn't mean illegal. There are such things as legal aliens, and they are a good thing. It is illegal aliens that are a problem, some people seem to have a hard time distinguishing between the two. Sean is not the first one I have seen do this. That is why you have stupid people say stupid things like people who are against illegal aliens are racists or prejudice.

Besides, HotRod isn't from our side of the pond Sean, so even if his step mother was illegal, USCIS would really care much, if fact judging from my dealings with them they would probably just be pissed off and annoyed at you.
