Suspect that Aliens would be labeled as a different species rather than a different race.
Census forms would be revised to indicate planet of birth, and all the anti-immigration bigots would be yelling for laws to ban inter-species mating. Heaven forbid some doctor treat a alien baby who doesn't have a green card. Same as it ever was. As an aside, my son wrote a cool Sci-fi novel where just as the US was about to get into a huge war with numerous other countries, the aliens show up. An interesting statement on nationalism versus planetary cooperation.
