Congress.gov lists H.R.1 as Public Law No. 119-21. Its summary says section 90001 provides over $46 billion through FY2029 to CBP for construction, installation, or improvement of barriers, access roads, detection technology, and related border work.
Assessments
Davidson promised construction of a border wall and related infrastructure sufficient to provide complete control over entry and exit. He sponsored wall-related legislation in 2019 and later voted for H.R.1, enacted as Public Law 119-21 in 2025, which provided major multi-year funding for barriers, roads, technology, and related border infrastructure. That materially advances the promised policy and gives him candidate credit as a sitting federal legislator, but the evidence does not show a completed wall or complete control over U.S. entry and exit. The best rating is partial delivery, with later-term timing because the enacted funding occurred after the original campaign/term context.
Davidson clearly made the campaign promise and, while serving in federal office, sponsored H.R.32 to support border-wall construction through private donations. That was a serious legislative effort tied to the promise, but the bill did not become law and the promised outcome of a completed wall and border infrastructure giving complete control over entry and exit was not delivered. Because the relevant effort occurred during his term but failed to achieve the promised result, this is not fulfilled, with effort credit.
Davidson promised construction of a border wall and related infrastructure sufficient to give complete control over entry and exit. The evidence shows he made a concrete legislative attempt by introducing H.R. 32, the Buy a Brick, Build the Wall Act, in 2019, but the bill did not become law and the promised complete border-control infrastructure outcome was not delivered. Because there was a serious legislative effort that failed to achieve the promised result, the outcome is never with an effort badge.
