an activist from Ethiopia #1

The Immigration Judge asked these questions:
   show me your original passport!
how were you admitted into the USA?
how did  you get your visa?
you filled out an application? it asked you "what is your intended length of stay in USA?"
   -you said "I will stay just for a short time?"  you lied?  you did not stay a short time, did you?
   The application also asked if you had ever been arrested? you said NO? you lied again?!
I, the Judge, have a copy of this application, but you don't?  I know more about you, than you do?
    Is this embarrassing to you?
= =
    your government hates protesters, but  you protested anyway, in your country?
weren't you afraid you would get arrested?
Isn't it a risk to openly express your views?
were you surprised when you were later arrested?
were you surprised that the government found out what you were doing?
    I thought you said you protested openly; OK, so the government saw you?
= =
your father wrote a letter of support? he wrote down the wrong dates? you were too busy to actually read his letter, before giving it to the Court?
   The Court spent more time reading the letter, than you did?
= = =
your uncle wrote a letter of support for you? but he also got some dates wrong? why is that?
The Courr carefully read uncle's letter, but you did not ? you are now surprised, right now, sitting in court that you realize Uncle's letter has problems?
= = =
where is the orginal of the letter?
where is your passport?   it expired? did you try to re-new it?
= = =
a young man, age 25  perhaps, muscular, not wearing glasses, talked to you? who did he work for?
What did you believe about him? why did you believe that?
= =
you say you were severely injured in prison? so, why didn't you go see a doctor?
Did any members of your family have problems in the past 2 years?
   your father? mother? sister #2?  sister #3?
       they are the same ethnic group as you? how come they are not dead or in prison?
= = =
to get your visa, someone filled out the application online?
   that application asked you: "have you traveled to any countries in the past five years?"
      that application asked "were you a member of an organization, that according to the Dept of State, is a terror organization?
     that application asked if you gave "material support" to an organization?
you don't know what "material support" means, do you? if you don't know what it means, why do you answer the question so quickly?
    did  you ever pay $1 at a checkpoint?
