Water can be solved with desalination and investments in energy output improvement tech.

New Mexico can’t build desalination plants. Probably a good idea to not allow water intensive crops to be grown there that are exported.

Mass migrations can be handled by destroying all the layers of laws that NIMByYs use.

It’s rational for a country to not have open borders and allow anyone to just come. It’s also rational to not allow more people to come in than what the citizens are comfortable with. It’s going to be much more Darwinian in the future.

India, for instance, isn’t going to be able account 200 million climate refugees from Bangladesh.

What if I told you that evidence has shown that immigration was deflationary and contributed to the low inflation that the US experienced where other nations had it far worse than we did?

Immigration at it's current levels might be great but not necessarily if it greatly increased. What you have to demonstrate is that in a world full of climate change caused chaos allowing tens of millions of people into the country is it a bad idea. We don't live in that word yet so referencing the effect of current levels of immigration is not relevant.
