This was about 10 years ago, and a classic case of a no-longer-resident
permanent resident. He was making a business trip to the USA and tried
to enter on his Green Card. They determined that he had abandoned his
residency and cancelled his GC. However, they still let him in for his
trip. I don't know on what basis they let him in - perhaps parole or
WB (I don't know if the Visa Waiver program was in place then).
