They could just say they're seeking refugee status in the U.S.
They would get cell phones, money cards, EBT cards and get to live in 5 star hotels
Not if they have us Passports.
I, easily, found the State Department policy information readily available on their travel website, with a link to the law's most recent reaffirmation, which was done under Trump, not Biden.
You expect Joe Biden to ignore the law. This time. For this crisis.
Biden could just do the Right Thing

Thanks to a law enacted under President Trump!
22 U.S.C. 2671 - Emergency expenditures
Laws In Effect As Of Date
January 12, 2018
www.govinfo.gov...
Information for U.S. Citizens about a U.S. Government-Assisted Evacuation
Procedures for Evacuation:
Generally, individuals evacuated on a U.S. government-coordinated transport, including charter and military flights or ships, even if those transports are provided by another country’s government, must sign an Evacuee Manifest and Promissory Note (Form DS-5528) note prior to departure. The Department of State uses the Form DS-5528 to document who got on which transport, and it lets us know how to contact evacuees for billing purposes.
U.S. law requires that departure assistance to private U.S. citizens or third country nationals be provided “on a reimbursable basis to the maximum extent practicable.” By taking a U.S. government coordinated transport, evacuees are obligated to repay the cost of their transportation. The amount billed to evacuees is based on the cost of a full fare economy flight, or comparable alternate transportation, to the designated destination(s) that would have been charged immediately prior to the events giving rise to the evacuation. Because different evacuation transports may go to different destinations, the cost of one transport may be different than another. We encourage people to leave on the first transport they are able and eligible to board.

But he(Biden) certainly could undo it..right? he has changed other things.
For the record, neither a Trump or Biden fan.
No. I don't think a president can choose to ignore laws that Congress wrote and passed and that were signed into law by the sitting President at the time.

Nobody is stopping or hindering anyone from "getting out". The law requires people, including American citizens, requiring emergency assistance to sign a promissory note for government accommodations to a safe place. It's the law. It's not like they're asking victims to take the Mark of Beast! And, Biden can forgive those loans.
