"I'm not aware of that statement", "I don't recall making that statement", all variations of this, should be met with a minimum of a $1000 fine each time such question avoidance is made, especially when it's blatantly obvious that the person is lying. What's the point of these hearings if people can just obviously lie and avoid questions by claiming they don't know? It's a waste of everyone's time. Plausible deniability is evil.

Because there is no difference, visually, between an immigrant that looks like him, vs the 2nd generation of immigrants. Making even legal immigrants who are citizens, hold Green card or a permanent resident card, less likely to report a crime to law enforcement, or cooperate as a witness, because they fear being profiled and deported.
