#1 Two U.S. officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the U.S. was prepared to give Palau up to $200 million in development, budget support and other assistance in return for accepting the Uighurs and as part of a mutual defense and cooperation treaty that is due to be renegotiated this year.

So these 17 mooks are gonna cost us 200 million bucks?

#2 That's cheaper than a Senator or a couple Representatives, just ask any lobbyist. And probably close to what its costing to keep them now. The up front cost of room and board isn't that high, but the overhead for administration, support, visiting pro bono lawyers et al gets it up there after a couple years.
