This bill ... requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to resume all activities related to constructing a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border that were underway or planned prior to January 20, 2021. ... [It] requires DHS to construct a border wall ... along at least 900 miles of that border.

Congress.gov shows the House-passed Secure the Border Act required resumed wall construction and a much larger border wall mandate. This supports that Steube-backed border security efforts advanced concrete legislation, even though the broader promise was not completed.

The office issue page says Steube still wants to complete the wall and enforce immigration laws, and points to his votes for legislation to do so.

Official campaign/office material shows the promise remains an active policy position, but it does not show the wall was completed or the laws fully enforced.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Steube made concrete federal legislative efforts toward the promise, including voting to advance H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act of 2023, and introducing H.R. 7392 to redirect funds to southwest border wall construction. However, the promised outcome was to complete the border wall and enforce existing immigration laws to secure the southern border. Official CBP/DHS evidence from 2025 shows border wall construction was still ongoing and additional miles were only being planned or authorized, so the wall was not complete. The evidence supports serious effort by Steube, but not fulfillment of the promised outcome.

The promised outcome was not fulfilled: the southern border wall was still not complete, with DHS/CBP reporting additional wall construction activity in 2025. Steube did take concrete legislative action toward the promise, including voting for border-wall and enforcement legislation and introducing a bill to redirect funds to wall construction, so this qualifies for an effort badge despite non-delivery.
