Panama, afaik doesn’t get paid. Just gets continued invasion threats no matter how much they bend over.

El Salvador could double its GDP if they can just keep 1.75M prisoners alive. ($35B/year)

    I’d worry as a tourist. Can El Salvador get paid for detaining anyone themselves? Isn’t it an anti-American act to go visit El Salvador as a Canadian?

      I’m assuming America is only paying El Salvador for prisoners America sends to El Salvador. They don’t give a shit what El Salvador does to their own domestic prisoners, or America’s, quite frankly.

      I was just in El Salvador for a month, felt safer there than most central American countries.
