"Received, Read the first time, Read the second time and placed on the calendar"

As of the latest official bill status found, Gillen's TPS bill had advanced to the Senate calendar but had not been enacted into law, so the promise was not fully delivered by the cutoff date.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

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.
