Re-entering US with Green Card and alternate passport

So, my husband is visiting his home country (Argentina) for the first time since we were married here in the US. He has a green card. While in Argentina, he had to have his passport changed to mark his status as "married". For some inexplicable reason, they mailed his passport to the US. He was planning to go pick up his passport and return to the US this week. Obviously that will not happen with that passport, but he does also have a Spanish passport. My question is-can he enter the US with his green card and his Spanish passport, even though he applied for the green card using his Argentine passport?

Thanks for any insight!

Until recently the CBP never wanted to see the passport for a GC holder. The last couple of times my wife entered the US, they asked to see her passport. He will show a passport and his GC. Does not matter what passport he used to get his GC. The last guy did look thru her passport a bit and wrote "CWOP" on her K-1 visa. So they may wonder why he has no stamp for his recent entry into Argentina--maybe. Just have the reason ready to go should they ask.
