If anything, he caused MORE to come because he wasn't doing anything to slow it down. Insert Trump for Biden and Dems for Repubs and it was the same then, except Trump was pushing for measures only to keep getting blocked.
Trump was getting blocked by the courts because what he did was not within the law. Biden didn't do those things because, well, they weren't within the law. The Biden administration has been asking for legislation on immigration from the start, but Congress has been ineffective on this front, both when it was a Democratic majority and now with the GOP at the helm in the House. In all seriousness, POTUS gets the blame for this but the executive branch can only go as far as the law and the budget allows.

Hard to say. It was definitely a more conservative spending bill than I would've liked to see, but compromises are what they are.
