BOSTON (CBS) – An immigrant worker at Logan Airport says his dream of becoming a U.S. citizen was stolen.
In January he received a notice in the mail inviting him to a naturalization ceremony. He brought his mother.
“This was like the end of it all. I was really proud. It was at the JFK library,” the employee said.
The man spoke to WBZ-TV on the condition of anonymity because of what happened next.
“They check this list and realize my name is not on there and they’re like, ‘You’re going to have to leave. Somebody’s going to have to get back to you.’”
Weeks later, he still has not received an explanation.
His green card runs out in a month and a half, as does his Massport ID, which enables him to work at Logan Airport.
He’s one of hundreds of immigrants who work in passenger services at the airport.
They take care of day-to-day operations, like pushing wheelchairs, cleaning, offloading baggage, and helping planes park.
“The vast majority are foreign born,” says Roxana Rivera, Vice President of the local 32BJ Service Employees International Union. She says the office has fielded countless calls from immigrant airport workers. “Are green cards going to be renewed? If you are applying to be a resident or a U.S. citizen, how what (President Donald) Trump is putting out there is going to affect them.”(continued)

GTF OUT!!
You stole it in the first place. I'd say it was recovered by the people it was stolen from.
Fear The Deportation it’s everywhere
holy cow !
Get out! America will do just fine, thanks.
And why is that, Senora Rivera?
Is it because...Gasp...you discriminate in hiring against Americans?
You are - double gasp - a Racist?
Shame
The detainees need to be made uncomfortable enough, their property all confiscated or something, that fear of getting rounded up will induce many to just go home, swim back across the river as it were.
The sky is falling part of this article is a non-story.
The guy has a green card.
Was supposed to be a citizen and wasn’t on the list.
His green card runs out in April 2017, therefore:
LOGAN SHUTS DOWN ! *soff
to post 10...Darn tootin !!!
The other day at DFW, I saw a TSA employee wearing hijab. That exactly like the soviets having a mole in a counterintelligence agency!
The legal definition of "immigrant" is a permanent resident and you can on be naturalized after you first become a permanent resident. A "green card" had always been the popular term for a "permanent resident" (aka:"immigrant") ID card.
That's what you get when you bastardize the language!
The solution is to stop calling every foreigner in the U.S., from illegal aliens to temporary legal workers, "immigrants."
A green card doesn’t run out. It is permanent. It does however expire and requires holder to pay up and renew.
This story is retarded. Ok, this guy has a Green Card. If he was at all informed about his situation he would know that his status never “expires”. There is no such thing as permanent residency “expiring”. All he needs to do is get the card replaced (and biometrics updated) every ten years.
In January he received a notice in the mail inviting him to a naturalization ceremony. He brought his mother.

This all made up you don’t get “invited” to a naturalization ceremony...you apply and go through a process..this illegal alien didn’t know how people become American citizens and he was counting on the reporter not know either...nor many people reading the article...
Plus a green card does not run out...there is no expiration date...he didn’t know that either...
his story is full of holes ...
adding Mamacita was a nice touch...
If he is ready to nationalize then everything is probably fine and it was just a bureaucratic SNAFU.
More jobs American citizens wouldn’t want to do, aye!
Like the cop killer that "gets captured"? ... Why? ... he should be immediately dead !
And these illegals are in a position to traffic ANYTHING into ..... AND OUT OF ..... The USA.
