5. Why would El Salvador agree to this

Thursday

I don't see why El Salvador would agree to feed, house and guard this "illegals" for the return of a few criminals. That's a lot of resources they are using that we are not. Would they have a limited holding time? Will these people ever be released? Or killed? What do they plan to do with so many people and with more getting arrested each day?
