You are correct (see below). But it's never been about the money. Americans have been railing against certain groups of migrants since our founding.
Studies estimate mass deportation of 11 million undocumented immigrants costs $315-$967.9 billion, with detention alone at $167.8 billion. They contribute $96.7 billion annually in taxes, potentially rising to $136.9 billion with work authorization. Legalization could add $1.5-$1.7 trillion to GDP over 10 years. From a financial perspective, legalizing undocumented immigrants is more beneficial.

Yes, it's very expensive and due process takes a very long time. Such a shame that Biden and his cohorts thought it was okay to allow millions to cross the border with little to no vetting and then allow them to get lost in the system and give birth to anchor babies reside in sanctuary cities, go free with little to no bail if they committed crimes, enroll kids in school with no questions asked, etc.
Biden was following international and US law. The courts overtuned tools that Trump had used so Biden didn't have the same legal discretion. That is why the bi-partisan bill was needed, to fix the rules and add funding for more administrative judges to hear these cases more expediently. The bill also would have funded fentenyl scanners at the border. But trump got the GOP to tank the bill, so we still don't have a good solution. But unleashing ICE and flouting Habeas Corpus are not good solutions.
Yet no bill passed, and this legal discretion is being done differently. No one is being let in now.
Biden chose to use parole to let people in. Biden chose to use CPBOne to let people in, while Trump has renamed it CPBHome and is using it to send people away.
Biden chose to end Remain in Mexico. Trump reinstated it.
No court told Biden to stop building a wall, including canceling contracts and paying contractors to do nothing.
