Amman, Jordan - With nothing but the clothes on his back and less than $300 in his pocket, Amer Adi was put on a plane and deported to Jordan, the country he left 39 years ago to pursue his American dream.
His 94-year-old mother sat in a wheelchair at the arrivals gate, overcome with emotion as she waited for Adi. She hadn't seen him in 20 years.
As he walked out, his siblings, nephews and nieces broke out in cheers. But they were soon in tears.
Adi fell to his knees, a broken man in his mother's arms.
"I have mixed feelings, very mixed feelings. I'm so happy, so glad to be here, my home, to see my mother, my brother, my family, my friends, that makes me proud and happy," Adi told CNN at the airport.
Adi lived in America for nearly 40 years. He has a wife who is a US citizen, and four daughters who are also US citizens. He owns several businesses in his adopted hometown of Youngstown, Ohio. A week ago, he was deported.

Pillars of the Community don’t break the law.
He has an American wife, so why isn’t he a citizen of the US?
Sniff, sniff.
Bye
That’s his problem, it’s called HIS country. This worship of illegals is pure evil.
Am I supposed to feel sorry for him? Sorry, I just don’t.
Welcome Home
“don’t break the law” — for 39 YEARS!!
Maybe we are finally changing immigration. There will always be individual sob stories, but this will drive the message home to other aspiring criminals.
What sort of “Pillar of the Community” doesn’t visit his own geriatric mother for 20 years? What a nice son.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh
“He has an American wife, so why isn’t he a citizen of the US?”
You have to apply, wait and pay for it. Dave Ramsey took a call about it this week. But it is usually automatic
My guess is there some some event in his past that rules out citizenship regardless of marriage.
At least the inconsiderate lying bastard didn’t say he regretted seeing his own mother. I’m sure no one there is surprised we threw him out where he belongs.
“Pillars of the Community” visit their mothers more often than just every twenty years or so.
n the 1980s, Adi held a green card. But he lost his permanent resident status in the early 1990s, after moving to Brazil for three years with his wife. When he returned, Adi tried to apply for a new card, but was rejected.
Immigration officials accused him of having a sham marriage with his American ex-wife.
His ex-wife had signed a statement alleging marriage fraud. According to Adi, his lawyer and multiple media interviews with Adi’s ex-wife, she was coerced into making the statement after immigration officials showed up at her door.
Now he is reunited with his family. A win win.
He was not a resident alien, but a low-down scumbag illegal alien.
Sham “marrige” lived in Bazil 3 yrs and now wants special treatment because a Democrat wants him to stay? Dont mKe me laugh.
