Outside Jimmy Klass’s mobile home in Clearwater, symbols of American pride hang not just front and center but also on the side and back of his home. America is, after all, the only home this 66-year-old has ever known.
“I moved to the US in 1959. I’ve been here for 64 years,” he recently told us.
But after more than half a century in the U.S., where he’s lived, worked, gone to school, got married, had kids, paid his taxes, and even voted, Klass said in 2020 he discovered he’s not a U.S. citizen.
“You’ve got to be kidding me,” he said. “One month, they told me I should expect my first check on the second Wednesday of 2020. But instead, I get a letter stating that I haven’t proven to them that I’m here legally,” he said.
