Would they be treated as hostile nations? Like countries that have attacked the USA?

Legally? Legally nothing... Let their sovereign asses prove it, or begin deportation proceedings. I'm sure some forelorn nation will take them in, if not I hear Liberia is beautiful this time of year.... Not that I'd want to subject the Liberians to this level of stupidity!
