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.

This is what the rule of law looks like.
Ex-wife.
I believe the intent here is to garner sympathy for the poor deported soul who despite being here for 39 years, never found time to become legal, and who abandoned his family who, for some reason, were glad to see him. Sorry, no sympathy for you!
Almost 40 years here and the perfesser couldn’t figure out how to go the legal route....and he charades as a teacher,,,,
Ef him.....mussie scum probably voted illegally too.
The ex almost always gets even.
Both my wife and I have grandparents who like your parents emigrated here legally. We know many others who like your parents emigrated here legally. We have a close friends who lived in horrendous conditions in a refugee camp in Vietnam for years before finally being able to emigrate here legally. Almost all of our friends and family who jumped through all the hoops and did everything right are offended by those who came here illegally who feel that they are entitled to stay just because.
He has an ex and a current.
It seems like he’s still married to the latter.
Hey Muslim man, don't beat your wife and treat her like dirt and she might not have a reason to turn you over to the INS.
Sounds like a personal problem. Even if he remarried, if the first marriage was a sham, why would we believe the second isn’t.
“What sort of “Pillar of the Community” doesn’t visit his own geriatric mother for 20 years? What a nice son.”
Because he knew that if he “went home for a visit,” that he would not be allowed back into this country. So TS mama, having a “good life” in America “trumps” seeing you!
"Wadda ya mean ya don't want me visiting you?"
Immigration officials accused him of having a sham marriage with his American ex-wife.
two reasons why he isn't and citizen;
His ex-wife had signed a statement alleging marriage fraud. (Prior to finalizing his citizen status) And...
I'm guessing he may not have notified immigration and made arrangements to deal with his temporary Brazilian move and legally maintain his green card status. Like Meg Ryan's charactor in the comedy movie "French Kiss"
Well at least his taxes are free.
Didn’t someone throw that woman off a train?
She’s tougher than a two dollar steak.

We need Vince from Sham-Wow to clean up this mess.
Anyhoo, not speaking from a point of the way I think things ought to be here, as I would have no-fault divorce without Cause not be illegal, but in a country where so many marriages end in divorce to judge the first to have been a sham because it ended is kinda shaky.
As I interpreted the story he had married one woman, divorced her, then married again and the first said the second was a sham marriage.
I did not think she was saying that her marriage, the first one to him, was the sham.
They are now saying the first said so under pressure, and she later recanted the charge but, silly thing that paperwork is, the charge remains in the system.
I don’t know if either were or are intended to be sham marriages, only that it appears until it’s clearly stated otherwise the current one has lasted for years, so it seems like it may not be a sham.
Editing problem: there is a “not” that should not be there.
I would that no-fault divorce was illegal.
Not “not illegal”.

A family reunited!
