if deported, what would you do back in your country?

Ms. Ahmed, from Pakistan, was denied asylum. She testified that she did not want to wear a veil, she did not want to pray five times per day, and she did not want to stay indoors unless accompanied by a man. However, she also testified that, because she would have no choice, she would in fact wear a veil, pray 5x; and stay indoors.

She did NOT testify that: "I have now lived in USA for a long time. I am a changed person. I have profound opposition to the stupid rules in my country. It is abhorrent to me to have to do those things. So, I will not. Let them put me in prison, and let them beat me. I do not care. I will not wear a veil, pray 5x; or stay indoors. I will not.
