Babin introduced H.R. 3314, the Resettlement Accountability National Security Act, which "places an immediate suspension" on refugee resettlement until GAO completes a thorough examination of costs and national security issues.

Concrete legislative action toward the refugee-vetting part of the promise; it shows effort but not fulfillment by itself.

Babin said he voted to pass H.R. 3003, the No Sanctuary for Criminals Act, and H.R. 3004, Kate’s Law; he described H.R. 3003 as cutting off certain federal DOJ grants to sanctuary cities and H.R. 3004 as stiffening penalties for criminal aliens who re-enter illegally.

Official House statement confirms Babin supported and voted for bills aimed at sanctuary cities and criminal-alien deportation/reentry enforcement.

Congress.gov lists H.R. 3003 as introduced on 06/22/2017, passed the House on 06/29/2017, and last acted on in the Senate on 07/10/2017 as "Received in the Senate."

The sanctuary-city bill advanced in the House but did not become enacted law, so this was concrete effort without full delivery.

Congress.gov shows Babin introduced H.R.4593, the Securing Our Border States Act, to provide grants for states to build barriers and related infrastructure along the U.S.-Mexico border; the bill status is "Introduced" with a House referral the next day.

Babin kept advancing border-barrier legislation later in his career, which supports ongoing effort rather than completed delivery of the original promise.

Trump announced Lance Schroyer as his ICE director pick. The report says Schroyer led a deportation campaign in Oklahoma under an ICE-partnered 287(g) program, and DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said he would help target, arrest, and deport illegal aliens.

Recent personnel move and enforcement messaging show continued federal emphasis on arresting and deporting undocumented immigrants, especially through ICE and local-federal 287(g) partnerships.

After the Supreme Court ruling stripping TPS from more than 350,000 people, Mullin said TPS holders should seek permanent residence or leave and that the government would help them return home.

The administration is actively pushing protected migrants toward permanent status or departure, which is a concrete step toward stricter screening and deportation goals but not full completion of the broader border-security promise.

Assessments

never unknown A for effort

Babin repeatedly advanced border-security measures, including voting for sanctuary-city and criminal-alien bills and introducing refugee-vetting and border-barrier legislation, but the evidence does not show that the promised package of outcomes was actually enacted or achieved. The record supports sustained effort, not full delivery; the most accurate judgment is that he tried seriously but did not complete the promise.

Babin took concrete federal legislative and advocacy actions aligned with the promise, including voting for House-passed sanctuary-city and criminal-alien enforcement bills, introducing refugee-resettlement scrutiny legislation, supporting border-wall and border-barrier measures, and continuing similar efforts in later Congresses. However, the cited core bills did not become law and the evidence does not show that the full package of promised outcomes was enacted or completed with Babin’s material contribution. This supports partial fulfillment with a serious-effort badge rather than full delivery.

Babin demonstrably continued to fight for the promised border-security agenda during the same term: he supported the border wall, introduced refugee-program legislation, and voted for House-passed bills targeting sanctuary cities and criminal-alien reentry. However, the cited sanctuary-city and Kate's Law bills did not become law, the refugee bill is evidence of effort rather than enacted delivery, and the full set of promised outcomes was not achieved. This supports partial fulfillment rather than full delivery.
