Back legislation to secure the border and reform the immigration system.
Occurrences
In Congress, I am backing legislation to secure the border and reform our broken immigration system.
The legislation was introduced by Representatives ... Don Bacon (NE-02) ...
Evidence
Rep. Don Bacon [R-NE-2] is listed as a cosponsor of H.R. 6136 on 06/20/2018.
The Clerk shows Bacon voted Yea on the rule for H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act.
Bacon said, 'I support more legal immigration, but we must stop the current border travesty immediately.'
Bacon co-introduced the DIGNITY Act of 2025, described by his office as a 'commonsense immigration reform bill.'
Congress.gov lists H.R. 4393 as a bill "To secure the border and reform the immigration laws" and the introduced text names Mr. Bacon among the members for whom the bill was introduced.
The Congress.gov cosponsors page lists Rep. Bacon, Don [R-NE-2] as an original cosponsor of H.R. 4393 on 07/15/2025.
Bacon's office said Bacon and Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar introduced the DIGNITY Act of 2025, describing it as an immigration reform bill with border protections, asylum reforms, and legal immigration reforms.
The House Clerk records Roll Call 209 as the May 11, 2023 vote on passage of H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act; the bill passed 219-213, and Bacon is listed as voting Yea.
Congress.gov lists Rep. Bacon, Don [R-NE-2] as a cosponsor of H.R. 6136 on 06/20/2018.
The official text of H.R. 6136 says the bill was "To amend the immigration laws and provide for border security" and cites the short title "Border Security and Immigration Reform Act of 2018."
Assessments
The promise was to back legislation, not necessarily to enact final immigration law. In Bacon's first House term, he formally cosponsored H.R. 6136, the Border Security and Immigration Reform Act of 2018, whose official purpose was to amend immigration laws and provide border security. That directly matches both parts of the commitment. Later votes and sponsorship activity further support continued backing, but same-term cosponsorship is enough for full delivery.
The promise was to back legislation, not necessarily to enact a completed border and immigration overhaul. Bacon formally backed relevant federal legislation during his House service, including cosponsoring H.R. 6136 in 2018, supporting H.R. 2/Secure the Border Act in 2023, and co-introducing the DIGNITY Act of 2025. These actions directly satisfy the pledged conduct within his federal office context.
Bacon fulfilled the action-oriented promise to back legislation by cosponsoring or voting for border-security and immigration-reform measures, including H.R. 6136 in 2018, H.R. 2 in 2023, and co-introducing the DIGNITY Act in 2025. The broader policy outcome of securing the border and reforming the immigration system was not shown as enacted or completed, so this is partial rather than delivered.
