In my opinion, climate change causing more and more overwhelming* weather events, this issue is going to get worse.

*overwhelming in the sense of responders/budgets/planners unable to mitigate the effects of worse weather.

It's partly why I'm so "doomer" about climate change. The secondary effects of these weather events are already difficult to manage. What happens when we experience mass migration of humanity, or even worse storms?

For example, Kentucky USA has an average year-to-date precipitation of 6 inches. In 2025, that has increased to 12 inches. Yes that's one year, but it only takes one major event to wreak havoc on a poorer town or state.

I just finished the book “On The Move” about the coming climate driven migration and yea, I don’t see any part of the US prepared for being either the source or destination in these problems. https://bookshop.org/p/books/unlivable-abrahm-lustgarten/199...

US will need better wall. Something like Maginot Line should do.

No, but it is hilarious that you are proposing a famous failed attempt as the inspiration.

I just find it funny, US has biggest army in the world. "But there is nothing, they can do to stop migration".

Ukraine is in bad shape, yet they still manage to keep their borders (even with EU) pretty tightly secured!
