While we secure our southern border, we must also be focused on streamlining our asylum process and protecting pathways to legal immigration for hardworking, eligible people who will contribute to our economy.
I will work to streamline the asylum process and protect pathways to legal immigration for hardworking, eligible people.
Occurrences
My priorities include increased funding for Border Patrol, investment in better technology to aid our border patrol and expedited asylum and deportation proceedings. ... And work to establish an earned pathway to citizenship for law-abiding immigrants.
Evidence
"While we secure our southern border, we must also be focused on streamlining our asylum process and protecting pathways to legal immigration for hardworking, eligible people who will contribute to our economy."
"Ms. Gillen (for herself, Mr. Lawler, and Mrs. Cherfilus-McCormick) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary"
The bill was introduced and referred; GovInfo lists Gillen as a cosponsor. The bill title and House description state it is "To secure the border and reform the immigration laws."
The House vote record shows H. Res. 965, "Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 1689) to require the Secretary of Homeland Security to designate Haiti for temporary protected status," passed 220-207.
"Received, Read the first time, Read the second time and placed on the calendar"
Assessments
Gillen took concrete same-term legislative steps related to the promise, including introducing a TPS bill for Haitian nationals and backing broader immigration reform. However, the cited evidence does not show enactment of legislation or executive implementation that actually streamlined the asylum process or protected legal immigration pathways as an achieved policy outcome. Because there was a serious legislative effort but no delivered outcome by the latest evidence, this is best classified as never with an effort badge.
