Napoléon gets to the USA

after the Hundred Days and his defeat at Waterloo, Napoléon Bonaparte tried and failed to escape to the United States, but what if in 1815 Napoléon Bonaparte gets to America? after the War of 1812 is anti-British feeling high enough to have the Americans take Bonaparte in?
 
Let's see, Napoleon high tails it to America, meaning that the entire British fleet is on his tail, do we take him in? Only if the President is foolish enough to believe that we can stand up against a full scale British invasion!
 
I honestly doubt that the American government would want to have a figure of such infamy milling around, however I think there would be a possibility of him being placed in a state of privileged house arrest with him spending the rest of his days living in DC, Philadelphia, or New Orleans.

Perhaps if he gets in under an assumed identity. Any way other than that, and we wouldn't have taken him.
