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)

      Plenty of US private detention centers getting paid as staging areas too. There is a San Diego crossing that is notorious for finding any excuse to detain western tourists, even if they volunteer to pay to go home immediately. Plenty of Americans making money from this.
