The Senate-placed-on-calendar version shows the bill was received in the Senate, read the first time, read the second time, and placed on the calendar.

The House-passed border bill moved to the Senate calendar, but the official bill record does not show enactment into law, so the policy was not completed.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Latta made a broad federal campaign promise to secure and strengthen the southern border. During the relevant term, he materially supported H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act of 2023, including votes to advance it and for final House passage. However, the measure did not become law, and the evidence does not show that the promised border-security outcome was actually delivered. Because there was a serious legislative attempt but no completed federal outcome, this is best scored as not delivered with an effort badge.

never same_term A for effort

Latta promised to secure and strengthen the southern border. The evidence shows a serious same-term legislative effort: he voted to advance and pass H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act of 2023, and the bill passed the House. However, the bill was only placed on the Senate calendar and was not enacted into law, and the evidence does not show the promised border-security outcome was delivered. Under the rule, a serious failed legislative attempt is classified as never with effort_badge=true.
