If USA told you that you have a lovely family and it'd be a shame if something happened to them, but if you help them out, they'll provide you with everything you need, for the rest of your life, would you say no? How many people do you think would refuse?

It's a well documented fact in how the USA behaves itself and what it does. What sort of methods they use.
