Maybe we can house all the illegals on the ships.
Suppose they use those ships to take themselves to shore?

Friends Shipping, which has offices in Turkey and Dubai, has a pattern of abandonment linked to its fleet. Nineteen of the 22 ships listed on its website have been named in abandonment cases, according to U.N. data, though some of those ships may have since been sold. The company boasts a slogan of “We Make the World Smaller.”
“The only leverage seafarers have sometimes is to stay on a vessel until they get paid,” said Helen Meldrum, a ship inspector with the International Transport Workers’ Federation, which advocates for ship workers’ rights.
This is so weird. I never heard of such a thing.
This is insane! How can they get away with this?

The opening event in Lord Jim has been speculated by historians to have been based in part on an actual abandonment of a ship. On 17 July 1880, the British merchantman SS Jeddah set sail from Singapore bound for Penang and Jeddah, with 778 men, 147 women, and 67 children on board. The passengers were Muslims from the Malay states and were travelling to Mecca for the hajj (holy pilgrimage). After rough weather conditions, the Jeddah began taking on water. The hull sprang a large leak, the water rose rapidly, and the captain and officers abandoned the heavily listing ship. They were picked up by another vessel and taken to Aden, where they claimed that the passengers had attacked two engineers and the ship had foundered in poor weather. The pilgrims were abandoned by the crew. However, on 8 August 1880, a French steamship towed Jeddah into Aden and the pilgrims on board survived the incident. An official inquiry followed, as in the novel.

Ran out of gas?
While back, I looked up the ship my wife and I cruised on during our honeymoon back in 1991 and it fell into severe disrepair a couple years later to the point where they loaded port a potties on board for cabins whose plumbing didn’t work & they neglected to tell the passengers. The a/c system had broken so the crew told the passengers once the ship got underway, the a/c would work due to the breeze. The ship had gotten to a port somewhere in South America and the bank took control of the ship. The passengers and crew had to find their way home. If I can recall the ship, I’ll post a link to the story.

Muslim countries where slavery is acceptable and workers expendable.
I wish Trump would take up this issue. Some of the main culprit nations are said to be friends or allies of ours in the Middle East - United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
