Heck, they can walk over to the US most of the year already. Ever hear of the Bering Ice Bridge?
Sorry, technically it was a "Land Bridge" but that was 1,000's of years ago.
Well what do I know? In school I was taught that the Bering Sea froze over for most of the year. Now I did some Googleing and can't find anything to support this idea. Does anyone know if the Bering Sea between Russia and Alaska freezes over?

In 1998, Russian adventurer Dmitry Shparo and his son Matvey made the first known modern crossing of the frozen Bering Strait on skis.
In March 2006 Briton Karl Bushby and French American adventurer Dimitri Kieffer crossed the strait on foot, walking across a frozen 90 km (56 mile) section in 15 days. (BBC) (although they were soon arrested for not entering Russia through a border control.)
