Republucans obstructed the bill they asked for. It will take longer than a year to overcome that hurdle.

It’s been almost forty years since comprehensive immigration reform was passed. The problem is Congress, not POTUS. Biden only has the three options I mentioned above.

He has a fourth option to do nothing about it because that is better than those three options. Sometimes doing nothing is better than doing something.

Doing nothing is the same as overcrowding sanctuary cities. Doing nothing defaults to current immigration policy of busing migrants from border cities to sanctuary cities. They have no housing, so the migrants would be homeless. Allowing them to get housing elsewhere requires an act of Congress. Those are literally his options.
