yes in legal terms. if you lived here for over 10 yrs you should consider applying for citizenship so you can vote.

No, we dont use the word foreigner here, like other countries use it, for example, China. In China, everyone not Chinese is a foreigner, even the ones that live in their own country. When I talk to chinese online to them I am a foreigner, even tho I am sitting in my own home. They are not foreigners, they are Chinese.
Anyways, in the usa you'd be considered an immigrant. To be american you must be a citizen, not a resident.

Yes, a Permanent Resident is considered a foreigner until he or she becomes a US Citizen. For their immigration status remains as a "RESIDENT ALIEN" for any period of time until their immigration status changes regardless of time.

Until he is an actual citizen he is a foreigner. If he came from another place he will always "technically" be a foreigner. The time it takes for him to be accepted as a non-foreinger is different from one person to the next.

i think no because if you are staying here for over 10 years you will be considered as a legal resident unless you are staying here for granted you must get your petition for staying at a particular country.
