纽约时报已经揭发了。 自己看吧。

A Chinese woman walked into a law office in New York’s Chinatown and asked
to see her lawyer. She had applied for asylum, claiming that she had been
forced to get an abortion in China to comply with the country’s family-
planning laws, and she was anxious about her coming interview with
immigration officials.
She had good reason to be worried: Her claim, invented by her lawyer’s
associates, was false.
But the lawyer, John Wang, told her to relax. The process, he said, was
straightforward, and as long as she memorized a few details, everything
would be fine. “You are making yourself nervous,” he said in Mandarin. “
All you would be asked is the same few rubbish questions.”
“Just make it up,” the lawyer added.
The conversation, in December 2010, was secretly recorded by federal
officials conducting a wide investigation of immigration fraud in New York’
s Chinese population. The inquiry has led to the prosecution of at least 30
people — lawyers (including Mr. Wang), paralegals, interpreters and even an
employee of a church, who is on trial, accused of coaching asylum
applicants in basic tenets of Christianity to prop up their claims of
religious persecution. All were charged with helping hundreds of Chinese
immigrants apply for asylum using false tales of persecution.
The transcript of the conversation in Mr. Wang’s office, which was
disclosed in a recent court filing, offered a rare look at the hidden side
of the Chinese asylum industry in New York.
More Chinese immigrants apply for asylum than any other immigrant group in
the country, with the Chinese population in New York leading the way: Over
the past six years, about half of all applications filed by Chinese
immigrants not facing deportation were submitted in New York City. (
Comparable data for asylum applications from those in deportation
proceedings was not available.)
