Thus, our guiding light on immigration reform should be to secure our borders, uphold our laws, and protect our national security. This is why I support President Trump’s efforts to enforce our current immigration laws and secure our border.
Support securing the border, upholding immigration laws, and protecting national security.

Assessments
The promise is framed as support for border security and immigration enforcement, not as a guarantee of fully securing the border. The evidence shows Foxx publicly maintained that position on her official immigration page, voted for major border-enforcement legislation such as H.R. 4760 in 2018, and sponsored H.R. 8334, the Grant Integrity and Border Security Act, in 2024. Those actions constitute concrete congressional support within her federal office role, even though the broader policy goals were not fully enacted.
Foxx repeatedly supported the stated policy area through votes, public positions, and sponsored legislation, including H.R. 8334 in 2024 and an Aye vote on H.R. 4760 in 2018. However, the evidence shows support and legislative effort rather than a completed, attributable fulfillment of the broad promise to secure the border, uphold immigration laws, and protect national security. Because there were serious legislative efforts but no demonstrated full delivery of the promised outcome, the best rating is partial with an effort badge.
