La Cuarta Enmienda a la Constitución de EE.UU. permite a cada persona a reclamar ciertos derechos. No necesita decir si estas or no estas en el pais legalmente, ni decir como se cruzo la frontera.
Uno de los derechos, por ejemplo, es el derecho a permanecer en silencio. Una persona debe revelar su identidad cuando se pregunto la policia, no tiene que dar más información que eso.
La ley de inmigración es complicado. Cualquier declaración puede ser utilizada en su contra en un tribunal de derecho o de un procedimiento de inmigración. Como resultado, es mejor no decir nada.
Uno debe tomar una actitud general de la cooperación. Diga a los funcionarios de investigación que desea cooperar, pero que desea ver a un abogado primero.
Si los oficiales siguen tratando de hacerte hablar, repitiendo la frase.
"Estoy feliz de cooperar, pero quiero hablar con
mi abogado primero."
Hay que ser cortés en pedir a su abogado. Sin embargo, no se debe cambiar de opinión. Pida a ver a un abogado y no se doble de su petición. No discutir el caso, incluso si ofrecen para que pueda volver a casa si sólo va a hablar. Esa es la manera más rápida de no volver a casa!

The fourth amendment to the US Constitution allows each person to claim certain rights. One of the rights, for example, is the right to remain silent. A person in custody must disclose their identity, they do not have to give more information than that. They do not have to make a statement they are or are not in the country legally, nor do they have to say how they came into the country.
The immigration law is complicated. Any statement made can be used against that person in a court of law or an immigration proceeding. As a result, it is best not to say anything.
One should take a general attitude of cooperation. Tell the investigating officers you want to cooperate but you want to see an attorney first.
If the officers keep trying to get you to talk, keep repeating the phrase:
One should be courteous in asking for their attorney. However, one should not change his mind. Ask to see an attorney and don't bend from your request. Don't discuss the case even if they offer to let you go home if you will just talk. That is the quickest way not to go home!
