Evidence
"Finish the Wall. Defending Our Border and Strengthening National Security." "We cannot have a secure nation without secure borders." "My top priority in Congress will be to stop the disaster at the border before it is too late."
H.R.816 was referred to the House Subcommittee on Border Security and Enforcement on 2025-01-28; Marlin A. Stutzman is listed as a cosponsor on 2025-03-11.
H.R.1312 was introduced on 2025-02-13 and referred to the House Judiciary Committee the same day; Marlin A. Stutzman is listed as an original cosponsor.

Assessments
The promise called for a substantive delivered outcome on border defense and national security, including wall completion and stopping the border crisis. The evidence shows Stutzman supported relevant same-term bills on border wall construction, asylum restrictions, and national-security passport limits, but each measure only reached introduction, referral, or committee stage and was not enacted. These are serious legislative attempts but do not establish delivery of the promised policy outcome.
