Trying to come here on a tourist visa just to adjust status is considered immigration fraud

Apart from the illegality, if you currently petitioned him how can his priority date be current?

Aside from entering on a tourist visa with the purpose of adjusting status is considered fraud, if you recently filed the I-130 for him, there is no way his priority date is current. He’s looking at 12-15 years wait. 
 

He can come to visit but must leave at the end of his authorized stay.

Not now that you’ve demonstrated it as something you’re considering.. that would amount to immigration fraud if done.

 

a tourist visa is a tourist visa, not a means of avoiding the waiting list

If I were you, I would call CBP at his POE.  Give them his name, and information, and give them the heads up that he wants to AOS while on his tourist visa.  Might help them process him faster in line.

Although his I-130 has been approved, his Priority Date is not current, so there is nothing he can do but visit.  In addition, your suggested plan is illegal, and will have him banned.  Let him visit and wait.  At least he was able to obtain a visitor's visa, many people are not.
