1Opinion of the Court

BOUDIN, Circuit Judge.

On this appeal, Miguel Noel Fierro seeks review of a final order of removal, and a denial of reconsideration, from the Board of Immigration Appeals (“the Board”). The removal order is based on a statutory provision providing for the removal from the United States of “[a]ny alien who is convicted of an aggravated felony at any time after admission.” 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii) (Supp. II 1996). Fierro concedes that he has been convicted of such a crime but says that he is not an alien but rather a citizen of the United States.
