Non-Resident Alien
A non-U.S. citizen who doesn't pass the green card test or the substantial presence test. If a non-citizen currently has a green card or has had a green card in the past calender year, he or she would pass the green card test and would be classified as a resident alien. If the individual has resided in the U.S. for more than 31 days in the current year and has resided in the U.S. for more than 183 days over a three-year period, including the current year, he or she would pass the substantial presence test and also be classified as a resident alien.
Resident aliens are taxed on all earned income as if they were U.S. citizens, but a non-resident alien is not taxed in the same way. For a non-resident alien, only income that is generated from U.S. sources, excluding certain investments such as stocks, is subject to taxation. For example, if you live in England and own a company that operates in the U.S., but you have not been to the U.S. for five years and don't have a green card (a non-resident alien), the income generated by the business will be subject to U.S. tax. Dividends are taxed at 30% for every non-resident alien, while capital gains are not subject to U.S. tax.
Alien – Any person who is not a citizen of the US. This generic term includes legal permanent residents

A person, other than a U.S. Citizen or National, legally residing in the US is classified as a LAPR(Lawfully Admitted Permanent Resident). These individuals are commonly known as "Green cards".
All other legally admitted individuals are admitted into the country under several different classifications which allow them to carry out different activities on a temporary basis eg: students, specialized professionals, business investors, tourists, refugees,etc.
These classes may be lumped under the "non-citizen resident" term you are using but in immigration terminology are called "non-resident aliens".

a legal resident who is not a citizen.
There is a different term for those here illegally: illegal alien.
A 'resident' does not include people here on non-resident visas like tourist visas, etc. The immigration web page should have all of this.

Non-citizens are immigrants who have not yet recieved full citizenship but are here legally with other documents, people here on visas, greencard holders and illegal immigrants. (the latter is not here legally, no papers and they are not even 'trying' to become legal).
