    A possible answer: “I’m sorry, but when someone is bleeding to death in front of me while screaming incoherently, my priority isn’t on finding out who their employer is and they’d be unable to tell me even if I asked.” Might stir some vestigial sense of shame in the bureacrat asking the question. Or not.

      Or would you want me to have a discussion with you about politics before I stopped your bleeding?

    Answer: “Seriously? I can’t even speak their languages to ask. I treated a bunch of burned, filthy, bleeding people while hoping I didn’t get shot! I didn’t stop to ask for fucking ID.”

    Idk, seems like asking a medical worker if they followed the Geneva Convention is a fair question.

    I wouldn’t want a doctor who has been violating a rule that existed since 1864.

      The government isn’t asking illegal questions because they want to make sure an immigrant is following international laws.
