I can say confidently that asking potential refugees--who were born and have lived in a refugee camp for their entire lives--if they intend to pirate software when they are in the US is hilarious to refugee officers, too. In some languages it takes a lot of explanation to even get to a yes or no.

It's exclusively asked as a, "turns out you lied, that's perjury" question to make deportation easier in criminal cases.
