They needed to look like they were fixing it.

No, they needed to look like things were getting better.

It's the same dynamic as California and the homeless. Democrats there don't need to look like they're fixing the homeless problem in order to solve their political problems - they need to clear encampments.

Democrats didn't need to look like they were fixing the border. They needed to get the numbers down. Which is why they threw away all their usual demands in immigration negotiations (like DREAMERS) in order to get some legislation that could get the numbers down. It's ridiculous to think that having paid the political price from an infuriated base to get those tools to get the numbers down, they wouldn't use them - and continue into the next few election cycles with the numbers super high.
