Laws are not enforced by machines, but by humans.

The answer to all of those is "yes" and they will not bother to find them, they will ask you to list them. Omitting information or providing false information on your visa application is a felony.

It's the same logic as behind the "Are you a terrorist?" question. Lying is itself a crime, and can be used to prosecute you in the future.

I think the point to many of those questions/requirements are to ensure absolutely everyone can be prosecuted or deported because it's basically impossible to complete the immigration process or just about any other complicated government process without doing something that could possibly be construed in the most uncharitable way as being answered incorrectly.

Since when was any of this arbitrary stuff "law"? It's just rules the executive branch is making up.

You used to be asked "Are you a gunrunner?", we all had to lie about that.
