Asylum is for political refugees. As we learned from the "Temporary" status that we gave to the Haitians, the repatriating of those that have been relocated is not a well received process. Inviting people to put their lives in flux might be akin to giving an alcoholic a drink so he doesn't feel so bad over the next couple hours. In the long run, they will be developing their lives and relationships in a place they are expected to leave.

"We" shouldn't be sending aid. "You" and "I" should be sending aid as we choose. Further, aid sent should avoid creating a moral hazard. [bahamas.com]

Probably the best thing we could do right now is book a vacation to the Bahamas.
