basic issue in this case has to do with the immigration judges ruling if you can call them credibility this court has held in a number of cases that basically the himself there are three main examples if you will where the judge qualifies as an bell instrument areas which i think there are basically he did not believe or understand the first one as the judge could not fathom that mr thumble could receive two to three threatening phone calls per month which were later increased to four to five threatening phone calls per month after the socialist occurred even over a number of years with a person not having either physical confrontation or physical harm to be credible and to be persecution and to actually warrant a finding of the time in this in the circuit from the philippines a person from the philippines who applied for asylum there was no physical confrontation there were threats there were phone calls or letters but there was never any as a call confrontation which is different phone call by the way this was not an accident and keep it up and this is going to get worse so that's that's not uncommon your honor and i would point to this court's case in thomas a south african at that time by the socialists and that was the party that he was politically opposed to here but he's reporting is now reporting the threats of these reporting he's reporting the burglary in a robbery correct but there was no there is no evidence in the record the burglary and the robbery were politically motivated we have we have we have numerous phone calls which mr tunnel attributes to that but we don't have any any evidence that there was anything other than an economic motive mr mr connell attributes them to that but we don't have any other hard evidence of that doing we do not have any hard evidence of that and i you know we don't but we do know that this is not an uncommon thing and street crime is very often confused with true which means then that we are left with crimes that could be economic or could be political but which there is no evidence to demonstrate that it is in fact political let's let's assume this very hard that that the  i will take away the the embellishment in that he's getting two to three calls before nine hundred ninety seven forty five calls a month after nine hundred ninety seven i think there are i think there is a basis to to do that because political opinion is not the only basis upon which one could claim  persecution as this court is founding in other cases social group in some in some circumstances means belonging to a certain family for example what would the social group be here the social group could be being a member of that than a family are well but we don't have any evidence that that is family members are being persecuted outside of of him right just him and the threats were also ok i'm going to i'm going to assume that the public the phone calls i want you to assume that the phone calls are between the three crimes endured by the petitioner and any political opinion confirms that the one thousand nine hundred eighty burglary there's absolutely no proof that the incident had any connection to the government the petitioner admitted on direct examination that he did not know who took just because we don't have a ninety nine credibility and and the phone calls and the phone call them alone are not sufficient no absolutely not and why not because all the other cases decided by the circuit require threatening phone calls and something else phone calls as well as threatening letter is tied with a black with a black ribbon three limbs former colleagues in this investigation were actually murdered there's no evidence that any harm he felt anyone in a similar situation to the threats which continued on his to future persecution fear future prescription and there are a great number of them according to testimony we must believe and as they were politically motivated according to the defense as we must view so you have politically motivated future threats of harm going to the question the future persecution and yet you say and we have cases that say threats alone may record is unclear as to whether or not it's just one one thread or two threats none of these threats were ever carried out none of these threats were ever reported to the police which is frankly astounding consider how many the petition incidents endured by the petitioner that actually there's absolutely no nexus between the phone calls and anything else that ever be felt the petition or these homes whole stand alone and for this this court would have to decide that threatening phone calls albania we're talking about not the united states why didn't you call the police the police is part of the state i personally would be more afraid of the police in a place like albinia than the actual criminals on the street probably no other there's nothing plus there's nothing other than phone calls well it did escalate it went from phone calls to eventually the robbery the burglary well the robbery in the burglary again we don't have any evidence that those are politically motivated but so if we take those out there isn't anything else here if nobody seems to make any good on their threats and that's going to talk is cheap that's correct but i think that when you take for three years he took when the threat of kidnapping to his children came about he not only took them out of school he at that point took them out of the country he did move into a different neighborhood and he didn't change just fun and very you don't change are not your phone number now being like you do in the united states where you have in one city for area close so it's not it's not as easy the only other point i would make are is that in a place like colombia for example you have examples of guerrilla totally politically motivated pairing up with street gangs and drug lords all to accomplish their own separate purposes for the same crime means there is no reason why we cannot believe th politically motivated and they may or they may not be high to the actual events that did happen to him but there is no question that he received these calls and i think that those costs alone
