That said I think there is some evidence of potentially criminal activity in the treatment of those living on the islands. John Pilger famously made a documentary about it.
So if I pay your govt 3 million (or 3 billion (or 3 trillion)) in exchange I get to deport you, your family and everyone you know to wherever I want? Legal yeah?

How is there anything illegal about it?
Legality isn't the issue here, it's morality.

Was the Louisiana Purchase not legal?
It's not legal to sell something you don't own.
