Max will continue to fight to maintain the secure border.
Fight to maintain a secure southern border.
Occurrences
Max shares the frustration of Northeast Ohioans as drugs pour over our southern border making their way into our local communities while Congress and the Federal Government stand idly by.
In Congress, I will continue advocating for commonsense policies to address this crisis and defend our border and communities.
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.
The page states: "In Congress, I will continue advocating for commonsense policies to address this crisis and defend our border and communities." It also labels an Immigration & Border issue page with no newer resources found as of the crawl.
The page says Miller "will continue to advocate for strong policies" and shows recent May 2026 updates on his official site, indicating continued active policy work during the current term.
Miller announced he was joining the House Committee on Foreign Affairs for the remainder of the 119th Congress to "further serve the interests of Northeast Ohio by fighting for America First foreign policy."
The Clerk’s 2026 roll-call index shows House votes during the current session, including multiple measures related to homeland security and border enforcement. This supports that border-related legislative activity continued in the current term.
Miller said he voted for the Secure Our Border Act, which he described as taking "broad and meaningful action" to end the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border, including wall construction, 22,000 Border Patrol agents, retention bonuses, Operation Stonegarden grants, and technology upgrades.
"In Congress, I will continue advocating for commonsense policies to address this crisis and defend our border and communities." The page also says "No resources found."
The home page's latest visible office posts are dated May 19, 2026, May 18, 2026, and May 1, 2026; no June border-security update appears in the visible latest-news section.
Assessments
Miller repeatedly voted for House border-security legislation and kept the issue active on his official site, so he materially advanced the promise in office. But the evidence does not show a completed border-security outcome or a clearly secured southern border, so this is partial credit rather than full delivery.
The promise is framed as an advocacy commitment to 'fight' for a secure southern border rather than a clearly measurable end-state. Evidence shows Miller consistently pursued that goal during the same term: he publicly prioritized border security, voted for the Secure Our Border Act in 2023, and supported 2024 appropriations and House-passed border legislation that he said would add agents, detention capacity, technology, and wall construction. That demonstrates real effort and partial fulfillment of the advocacy promise. However, the record provided does not show that he personally delivered a completed federal outcome that definitively maintained a secure southern border; much of the cited activity is House passage, voting, and continued advocacy rather than enacted final policy producing the promised result. Therefore partial credit is most appropriate.
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.
