Agree.  If you are a non-citizen visa holder selected for further questioning, you may ask to talk to a lawyer but you generally do not have the right to consult a lawyer before answering the officers’ questions.  If you are arrested you then have the right to a lawyer.  There was no arrest.  What if there was no effective translator available?  The ACLU registered a complaint for discrimination.  We need more information before Perry Mason wannabees pass judgement.
