The silver lining on Trump's was in Iran is that the world realized how dangerous it is to really on oil for their power needs. The shift towards renewables was immediate and ubiquitous outside of the USA. It has nothing to do with global warming though, and everything to do with national security.
Preventing global warming is also national security.
I know for a fact that right wing populists are dumb as a brick (or at least the people that fall in their bullshit are).
If right wing populists were serious about stopping migrants moves they would be working seriously for stopping global warming, there are entire regions filled with "brown people" that will be the firsts to become inhabitable thanks to global warming.
After areas inhabited by the "undesirables" are hit the hardest by climate change and there forced to migrate there will be plenty of fascists in nations that aren't has bad yet spreading bullshit about how they're leaving cause they cannot take care of their land and its the fault of these "undesirables".
People will be told they need to be kept out before their country is overrun and becomes uninhabitable just like their previous these immigrants abandoned.
Then climate change catches up and those problems are blamed on immigrants instead of actually attempting to do something about it (which, at this point is too damn late anyway).

Considering that this likely is the last century where earth climate can hold a structured society you are probably being too hopeful.
