How do the legal aliens differ from those of united States citizen?

Legal aliens, or lawful permanent residents, have the right to live and work in the United States but do not have the full rights of U.S. citizens. Unlike citizens, legal aliens cannot vote in federal elections, run for public office, or obtain certain government jobs. Additionally, legal aliens must maintain their Immigration status and may face deportation for certain legal infractions, while citizens have the right to remain in the country indefinitely. Citizens also have the ability to sponsor family members for immigration, which legal aliens cannot do to the same extent.
