If it were USCIS or CBP, I'd refuse to answer their questions. If they were persistent, I'd have them speak with my attorney.
(Mods: should this be in Travel Safety/Security?)
And what exactly would they do with these captured illegals trying to go home? Force them to stay?
I always enjoy the big talk on these topics. Talk to your attorney? What, as you try to reclaim the few hundred $$ the airline charges you to reschedule the flight you miss after arguing with the "officials" about whether you need council present to tell them where you live?
