Does the agreement specify if the infrastructure funding is a one-time payment per person or a long-term development grant?

I wonder what their legal status is once they land... do they have work permits or are they in a legal limbo... does Liberia have the capacity to integrate people from entirely different continents?

why liberia specifically for latin american nationals?

The logistical nature is evident when you consider the travel distance for Latin American migrants. At least these agreements often include funding for local infrastructure in the receiving country.

This isn't about migration control; it's a pilot program for a global deportation market. Who's next on the list to get paid for taking people they have no connection to?
