Continue putting forward legislation and sound policy solutions to secure the border.
Occurrences
The blueprint outlines that we will invest in our safety and independence by prioritizing border security, national defense, and domestic energy production.
Evidence
The White House says the President signed H.R. 7147, the Homeland Security and Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Act, 2026, on April 30, 2026. The bill makes further appropriations for DHS, the department responsible for border enforcement and related security operations.
The House Appropriations Homeland Security subcommittee page lists recent activity on April 29 and April 30, 2026, and shows scheduled April 16, 2026 hearings on DHS topics including CBP, ICE, and USCIS under Chairman Mark Amodei.
The committee said the DHS shutdown had diverted over $8 billion from critical border security investments, harmed CBP and ICE operations, and that the House had passed full funding for DHS several times.
Assessments
The promise was framed as continuing to put forward legislation and policy solutions, not guaranteeing a fully secured border. In the same federal term, Amodei materially advanced border-related Homeland Security appropriations work as subcommittee chairman, held DHS/CBP/ICE-related hearings, and his DHS funding work contributed to H.R. 7147 becoming law on April 30, 2026. Because the delivered action matches the promised legislative and policy activity, this counts as fulfilled, though the broader border-security policy dispute remained ongoing.
