LOL! You were told wrong. It is the civilian version of the US military's ARPANET (ARPA is the forerunner of DARPA)
You can thank the US military for the internet you are using right now.

They seem to have willingly paid $50K to get over the border. How have they been tricked?
Are you saying they went through like 5-10 years of waiting to get naturalized and afterwards suddenly nobody is handing them a $1Million job and they feel tricked?
Or are you saying the naturalization...
No, it isn't that simple. You can only bring over your parents. You can't bring over your siblings easily. There are people who have been waiting over 25 years to get a brother/sister over. They are on the bottom of the list.
LOL! I don't understand this "tricked" part.
First you say they pay somebody like $50,000 to get the naturalization paperwork going, then apparently after years of going through the naturalization process they suddenly feel "tricked". Can you elaborate on the logic of that?
ok, so if that is somehow true you will then have to admit the number of Chinese nationals becoming US citizens or wanting to stay in the US must be spiking up.
