How do you know he hasn't? Problem is, the House is R, and it's their job (which they're not doing) to discuss immigration and every other law. And as someone mentioned below, there have been attempts by Obama and other Ds to do something, and every single time, it's been torpedoed by Rs. thirdway.org/memo/how-r…. Their solution is more wall, presumably paid by Mexico.

The Republicans have absolutely no interest in solving the immigration problem. They only want to use it as a wedge issue against the Democrats. Which is why their only solution is a wall.
But I do think the Democrats are making a big mistake by not addressing the problem directly and putting forth a program of how to deal with it.
And also Biden is also following the law and extending that wall (still not paid for by Mexico) to the disappointment of some if his base. Proof that Biden can please "the right" even by continuing what they started

And ticking off the far left because of it. The poor man can't catch a break no matter what he does.
