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.

Evidence

Leader Scalise said House Republicans spent the week advancing legislation to fund the Department of Homeland Security and criticized Democrats for opposing border security measures.

Recent official statement shows Scalise actively promoting DHS funding and border security, which supports the secure-borders portion of the commitment.

Congress.gov shows H.R. 7147, the Department of Homeland Security appropriations bill, passed the House on January 22, 2026, with DHS funding including CBP and ICE.

The House passed a DHS appropriations bill this term, providing concrete legislative action aligned with secure-border claims, though it does not by itself show anti-amnesty policy delivery.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Scalise materially advanced the secure-borders portion by supporting House action on DHS funding, including border enforcement agencies, and publicly pressing the border-security argument during his current federal term. However, the evidence shows House-side activity and advocacy rather than final enactment of a comprehensive secure-border outcome, and it does not establish a concrete delivered result on opposing or blocking amnesty policies. This supports partial credit with an effort badge, not full delivery.
