Complete the border wall, reform the immigration system, end catch-and-release policies, and stop fentanyl trafficking across the southern border.
Occurrences
Evidence
The campaign issues page says, 'We must complete the border wall, reform our immigration system, end catch-and-release policies, and put an end to the fentanyl trafficking that's flowing over our southern border.'
GovInfo shows Jefferson Shreve introduced H.R. 816 on January 28, 2025; the bill was referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. The bill would create a Southern Border Wall Construction Fund to construct and maintain physical barriers along the southern border.
Assessments
Shreve made a concrete same-term legislative attempt by sponsoring H.R. 816, the Build the Wall Act of 2025, to fund southern border wall construction. However, the bill remains only introduced/referred and has not become law, and the broader promised outcomes of completing the wall, reforming immigration, ending catch-and-release, and stopping fentanyl trafficking have not been delivered. The effort supports an effort badge but not fulfillment.
The promise combined several major outcomes: completing the border wall, reforming immigration, ending catch-and-release, and stopping fentanyl trafficking across the southern border. Shreve did make a concrete legislative attempt by introducing H.R. 816, the Build the Wall Act of 2025, on January 28, 2025, to create a Southern Border Wall Construction Fund. However, Congress.gov shows the bill remains only introduced/referred to subcommittee, and the evidence does not show enactment or completion of the broader promised outcomes. Because there was serious legislative effort but no delivered outcome, the correct adjudication is never with an effort badge.
