Fight to maintain a secure southern border.
Occurrences
Evidence
He’s steadfast in his push to secure the southern border, expand workforce development opportunities, and empower Ohio and America’s farmers and rural communities.
Congressman Max Miller ... voted for the Secure Our Border Act ... [which] resumes construction of the border wall, provides for the addition of 22,000 Border Patrol agents, establishes retention bonuses for frontline Border Patrol agents, bolsters local law enforcement jurisdictions along land and maritime borders, and requires ... monthly data ... and [a] technology investment plan.
"Today, I voted to pass a package of funding bills that will give our troops a pay raise, make our border more secure..." The statement adds that the legislation includes "funding for 22,000 Border Patrol Agents and increased detention capacity for ICE" plus new border-security technology and overtime pay for border agents.
The bill was passed by the House on 05/16/2024. The actions page also records an amendment to add that it is in the best interest of law enforcement officers and the communities they serve for the administration to use longstanding authorities ... to secure the southern border.
Assessments
The promise was framed as an effort commitment to fight for a secure southern border, not as a guarantee that the border would become fully secure. During the same term, Miller publicly prioritized border security and took multiple concrete legislative actions aligned with the pledge, including voting for the Secure Our Border Act, supporting appropriations he described as strengthening border security, and backing House-passed border-related legislation. Because the promised action was advocacy and legislative support, the available evidence supports fulfillment.
