Let's not devalue basic virtues. Honesty is honesty.
Would you rather he flat out lie that "we'll look into it" or him being honest "I'm not going to do anything about it". Being honest lets us know where he stands so we can make our plans about migration easier.
Calling them virtues is charitable if you're doing this while willfully refusing to acknowledge the fact that you stand on millions of hours of volunteer labor and you'd rather spit on them than give them their due. It's a lie by omission.
He could try to tell the truth with more tact, though, to avoid sounding like a complete douchebag.
