A read it was a spy swap, sounds like something out of a cold war novel.

One of Stella Rimington's novels deals with the psychology of the sleeper spy who is never activated.

I read somewhere that they'll get free housing and 2000 a month for life.
I think we are not being told something, here. I think these people had to have been going for more than crap that could have been easily picked up from the national inquirer or yahoo news.
Either that, or they are all related to higher-ups in Russia who were looking for a cushy job for the in-laws somewhere that they could forget about them.
I also saw a comment that got me thinking.... it asked what our reaction would have been if these people had been Muslims

We'll probably never know the real story. If we wanted to swap spies why didn't we arrest these spies earlier? Supposedly we have known of them for years. Why now?
