an activist from china

The asylum officer asked:
\   show me your passport! I want to study it in silence, while you sit there
Who do you live with, here in USA? do you pay rent? how do you pay it? you have a job? NO? really? if no job, how do you pay rent?
how much cash did you arrive with, upon entry to USA? did you declare it?
tell me the Date of Birth of child #1?  child #2? child #3?
  is it difficult to have three kids in China?
Page 4 has errors? So, we should spend a lot of time on that, instead of how you suffered harm?
Where did you sleep at night, for the past 60 months?  if you say one thing on I-589, and something else today, then we will spend a lot of time on that.  this will tire us out, and we will not have the strength to discuss how you suffered harm?
= =
Why are you afraid to return?
what is your political opinion?
Why does your government care about your foreign travel?
Why does the USA care about your foreign travel?
can Nelson Mandela get asylum in the USA?
Did you have any difficulty getting education/jobs/housing/passports?
Why are passports so interesting to asylum officers?
   do the stamps in them reveal very interesting and important info?
were you ever charged with a crime?
Why did you go to Ukraine? what did you do there?
Why go to Iran? what did you do there? tell me the name of the hotel in Tehran where you stayed?
= =
what is "material support? according to US law? does it include giving just one dollar to someone like Nelson Mandela? 
-does it include giving just one dollar to a "Nelson Mandela" person, at a checkpoint, who pointed a gun at you?
You have been gone from your country for a long time. They have forgotten about you, correct? So, if you return, nothing would happen, correct?
When you departed from your country, you showed the man your passport; but he did not arrest you, correct? so, if you see him again, at the airport, what are you worried about?
Did you ever engage in activities to undermine your government?
did you "weaken"  your government in any way?
