So, it's a two-pronged approach that we're going to take because the Democrats shut it down. We moved a budget last night that's going to at least allow us to fund the border security portions of Homeland Security. Then we have a separate bill that we're going to move that will fund everything else from TSA to FEMA to the Coast Guard.

Scalise says Republicans will move legislation to fund border security parts of DHS and then a separate bill to fund the rest of Homeland Security.

GovInfo identifies Public Law 119-1, approved January 29, 2025, as the Laken Riley Act, requiring DHS custody of aliens charged in the United States with theft and related provisions.

A narrower immigration-enforcement law was enacted during Scalise's later federal service, supporting partial fulfillment of the secure-borders/enforcement promise but not comprehensive border security or broad anti-amnesty delivery.

Congress.gov lists H.R. 2 as Passed House, with no enacted-law status; CRS says it would change immigration law by imposing asylum limits, requiring electronic employment eligibility verification, and requiring renewed border-wall construction and related border measures.

The bill closely matched the secure-border and anti-amnesty direction of the promise, but it remained only House-passed, supporting effort and partial credit rather than full delivery.
