Can you really dig a house-sized cave for less money, energy, or pollution than you can get some solar panels? Seems dubious.

If a whole solar power system was "some solar panels" then no.

But you're going to need an inverter and then the A/C system itself, too. And nobody is talking about a cave but you.

They will probably have to move whole cities, but then, that's a trope in climate fiction because it features heavily in climate statistics. There are many resources available for those who would like to generate maps of all the coastal locations people are likely to have to piss off from in the nearer-than-they-thought future because of storm surges exacerbated by apparently small changes in sea level and the like, so most of us should get used to the idea of a change of venue "just in case".

You act like this is our first foray into anti-immigrant government action and mass detainment of people who are even foreign-adjacent.

There used to be more tolerance of that sort of thing. The last time we put people in camps without due process there was also a war going on, so one could get away with a lot more in general... things which are now explicitly illegal even in wartime pretty much everywhere, by the way.
