The fun part is it seems like they won't have to because their supporters are just updating their thinking to make it a non-betrayal. From the r/politics thread:

I thought this at first too, but actually I see where this is going.
It's a deterrent against immigrant surges that can be caused by adversaries, like what Russia is doing in Eastern Europe.
It snubs Republican talking points and Biden never has to use it.
It handles the reality of climate change causing mass migration that we can't handle.

That's right everyone, we may have been the main driver of climate change but it's time to wet bulb event the global south because we aren't prepared to handle (checks notes) sharing our resources
