Scarface : Why did Tony tell immigration his mother was dead?

I mean if he told them she was in Miami wouldn't that help his asylum claim? I
guess because he didn't want HER to know since they'd probably contact her. I guess he didn't trust her fearing she'd tell them what he really was.
However a totally legit mother and sister would have helped aside from that possibility.

Actually if you apply to immigration you need to tell the mans you are by self, otherwise they become scare you will later bring the whole tribe, hana

Seriously?
