Put that responsibility off on private companies.
What do you want to bet that some cruise ship company offered, and he tweeted this out to make it appear that he arranged it?
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
UPDATE 9/9: Oh look.
Close to 1,000 lined up Friday at a port in Freeport [Bahamas]. All of them, clutching bare suitcases, hoped to return back to the U.S. with a cruise ship that had just arrived and was planning to leave for Palm Beach later that night with 1,500 precious seats. Unfortunately, it was not clear who would be able to board the ship when it leaves, and who won’t.
In a news release Thursday, Bahamas Paradise, the company that owns the ship, said it would evacuate Bahamian residents who had “proper documentation.”
[...]
It is unclear whether passengers were supposed to have a visa ready to go or would be able to apply for one at the port. "To be honest, we don’t know,” the spokeswoman said. "That’s the information coming to us.”
[...]
The suggestion that people who have just survived the worst storm to ever hit the Atlantic — a storm that shredded homes and all the valuables in them — would happen to have the precise documentation they would need to satisfy these requirements seemed absurd to some.
[...]
As of Friday afternoon, the federal government had yet to comment on the status of whether Bahamian residents who wish to flee the islands will be allowed into the United States to stay with any family they may have.
[...]
The cruise ship, which departed Palm Beach Thursday night loaded with relief supplies, EMS workers, doctors and Bahamian-Americans from South Florida eager to check on their family and property, is said to be able to accommodate 1,500 passengers on the return trip. By noon Friday, it was reported that more than 1,500 people were already waiting at the port to board. By 9 p.m., 1,173 people were on board, but there was no telling how many had been turned away.
