Evidence
"A few months ago, I traveled to Yuma, Arizona to cut through the noise and see firsthand the challenges our border patrol agents face as they work to secure our porous southern border. The border patrol agents, law enforcement officers, and private citizens I spoke with told me the same thing: we are facing a national security and humanitarian crisis at our southern border."
The House bill page lists Pete Stauber as a cosponsor of H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act of 2023. The bill summary says it is "Division A--Border Security" and that it "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."
On the House vote to provide for consideration of H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act, the clerk's roll call shows: "Stauber ... Yea."
Stauber and Rep. Langworthy introduced the Northern Border Staffing and Security Enhancement Act, which would require DHS to submit a comprehensive Northern Border Threat Analysis every 5 years and address staffing challenges at northern ports of entry and the retirement crisis at CBP.
Stauber said he was "proud to introduce legislation" to ensure law enforcement officers can continue to benefit from the Department of Defense 1033 Program, which allows the DoD to transfer equipment to local law enforcement.
Congressman Pete Stauber said he sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and FinCEN Director Andrea Gacki asking how the federal government monitors large cash transfers out of the country, including coordination with Customs and Border Patrol and other law enforcement entities to investigate suspicious activity.
Congress.gov lists Stauber as sponsor of H.R. 3891, introduced June 10, 2025, referred to the House Committee on Homeland Security, with the bill status still "Introduced."
Assessments
Stauber repeatedly supported the promised policy direction while in federal office, including cosponsoring and voting to advance H.R. 2, introducing northern border staffing/security legislation, introducing a law-enforcement equipment bill, and pressing agencies on enforcement coordination. However, the supplied evidence shows introductions, cosponsorship, procedural support, public advocacy, and oversight requests rather than enacted border patrol support, strengthened law-enforcement policy, or increased border-security construction/measures attributable to him. Because there was serious legislative and oversight effort but no completed promised outcome, this is best scored as not delivered with an effort badge.
The evidence shows Stauber consistently supported the promised direction through public statements, cosponsoring and voting to advance H.R. 2, and introducing or backing bills related to border patrol staffing, border security oversight, border wall construction, and law enforcement equipment. However, the record provided shows attempts and legislative support rather than enacted or implemented outcomes that actually increased border security construction/measures or strengthened law enforcement as completed policy. Because there were serious legislative attempts but no demonstrated delivery of the promised outcome, this is best classified as not fulfilled with effort recognized.
