So on the one hand Trump denies climate change, forbids the use of certain language by government agencies, but on the other hand they have a siege mentality, feeling that the US is about to be flooded with refugees from Climate change.

NATO and US wars, sanctions and destabilization caused the refugee crisis. The US meddled in the affairs of relatively stable dictatorships, causing much upheaval and unrest. Iraq led to ISIS, Syria led to the current situation, Libya, Yemen, so many other examples. This is really a replication of what occurred in South East Asia in the 60's, 70's. US actions leading to flood of refugees around the world.
Because the US played a major role in causing or worsening these situations, the US should be partly responsibility for the refugees.
