The UN should drop in some life rafts. And the humanitarian neutral ships can pick them up at sea.

Then they can go to Mexico and board the top of a freight train to get to the US border.They need bring nothing but their prayer rugs. They can start turning themselves into Customs. You can grasp the reality of all this when the first prayer rug washes up along the Rio Grande.

Heads would explode on Faux. Bill O'Liely, would wet himself before he stroked.
