In announcing the bill, Alford said he introduced the Strategic Assets Protection Act; the statement also references prior work with Senator Eric Schmitt to ensure Whiteman AFB was included on CFIUS’s list of sensitive national security sites that require enhanced scrutiny.

Shows active, concrete security-focused legislative advocacy in the current term, but it is about nuclear-site security rather than border security specifically.

Alford's official House page lists him as a member of the House Appropriations Committee, including several subcommittee assignments.

The House Appropriations report says the FY2027 DHS recommendation includes investments for border security technology and Border Patrol Agents, sustains funding for a Border Patrol end strength of 22,000 agents, and provides funding to maintain 41,500 ICE detention beds and removal operations.

Within the lookback window, the committee report shows live congressional action on border-security personnel, technology, and immigration enforcement. Because this was committee action rather than enacted final law, it supports partial progress and continued effort, not full delivery.

The FY2027 Homeland Security full committee mark would appropriate funds for U.S. Customs and Border Protection procurement, construction, and improvements; continues CBP and ICE-related provisions; preserves 287(g) law-enforcement cooperation; and directs ICE funding toward detention and removal operations.

Public Law 119-21 appropriated $46.55 billion for border infrastructure and wall system work; $4.1 billion to hire and train additional Border Patrol agents, CBP officers, Air and Marine agents, and support personnel; $45 billion for ICE detention capacity; and $29.85 billion for ICE hiring, training, transportation, enforcement, and removal operations.

This enacted same-term law materially funds the wall, border-security personnel, and immigration enforcement components of the promise. It supports substantial partial delivery, though the evidence is funding authority rather than proof that all wall construction and staffing increases were completed.
