Do you what these immigration officers have to go through, yes they may understand refugees have to do whatever they have to in order to be able to flee their country. Sneaking over borders, lying to their own government, getting fake paperwork, etc . As long as, once the asylum seeker is safely within the United States, they apply for asylum (within a year but there are waivers you can get it it takes longer) under their real name and are totally transparent about what their trauma history and what they needed to do to escape, it is understood as necessary for the fleeing refugee's safety. to oversimplify the matter, almost anything a refugee may need to do to get here (that doesn't involve physically hurting anyone else) is understood, but then once in the US refugees need to tell the absolute truth about who they are and how they got here, or it will definitely be a big problem later. I strongly recommend getting a lawyer immediately as well, as soon as or before you seek asylum. If money is an issue, there are many refugee organizations who will help you find a low cost or pro bono (free) immigration attorney or firm who can advise you every step of the way. Best of luck if you're asking for yourself :). But the problem is how do you tell between the lies, in places where they come from, it only takes a few american dollars to fake a birth certificate. The job wouldnt suit me, as i wont stand any of that bullshit. You have to earn to be here.
