Fix the broken immigration system and restore security at the southern border.
Occurrences
I also remain steadfast in my commitment to ensure a stable, reliable, and legal agriculture workforce... and am fighting to restart construction of the southern border wall.
Evidence
Dan Newhouse wants to defund all sanctuary cities, fully secure our border, build a wall on the southern border, and fix our dangerous immigration system.
The House voted on ordering the previous question for consideration of H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act, and the roll call record shows Rep. Dan Newhouse voting Yea on the procedural question. The measure concerned consideration of a border-security bill.
Roll Call 209 records passage of H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act, and Roll Call 208 records the motion to recommit. Newhouse voted on the border-security package in the House, where the bill passed the chamber.
Rep. Newhouse said he was proud of 'the work we have done in securing critical investments for a secure border' and that the legislation 'refocuses the Department of Homeland Security on its fundamental mission: ensuring the safety of Americans and secure national borders.'
'I am fighting to fix this broken system and restore security at our southern border.' The page also says he supported H.R. 2, advocated keeping Title 42 in place, and is fighting to restart construction of the southern border wall.
"I am fighting to fix this broken system and restore security at our southern border." The page says he supported H.R. 2, advocated keeping Title 42 in place, and is fighting to restart construction of the southern border wall.
Roll Call 209 records passage of H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act, and the roll call record shows Newhouse voted on the border-security package in the House.
The House Clerk roll-call index for the lookback period lists May 12-21, 2026 House votes, including H.R.8469, H.R.8365, H.R.5625, H.Con.Res.75, H.R.6260, H.R.2616, and other measures; it does not show a House vote in that period enacting or completing an immigration-system or southern-border-security fix.
Newhouse's issue page still says he is fighting to fix the broken immigration system and restore security at the southern border. Its latest listed immigration item is Newhouse Votes to Advance Homeland Security Funding, March 5, 2026, after House passage of H.R.7744 by 221-209.
Newhouse said after House passage of H.R.7744 that Congress must fund counterterrorism, cybersecurity, border security, TSA, and emergency management agencies. The release says H.R.7744 passed 221-209.
The House Clerk index records Roll 87 on March 5, 2026: H.R.7744, Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2026, On Passage, result Passed. It also records Roll 42 on January 22, 2026 for H.R.7147, a Homeland Security appropriations measure, as Passed.
Congress.gov lists H.R.4393 with the official title To secure the border and reform the immigration laws, shows Rep. Dan Newhouse as an original cosponsor dated July 15, 2025, and lists the latest action as referral to House committees on July 15, 2025.
The H.R.4393 bill text says the bill is To secure the border and reform the immigration laws and includes Division A, Border Security for America, with provisions on southern border barriers, ports of entry, criminal enforcement, and mandatory E-Verify.
Newhouse and Zoe Lofgren reintroduced the Farm Workforce Modernization Act to reform the H-2A visa program and establish a strong, legal immigration workforce for agricultural producers. Newhouse called long-term durable reforms to agriculture guest-worker programs a top priority.
Congress.gov's FY2026 appropriations table notes that H.R.7147 was the FY2026 Homeland Security Appropriations Act as passed by the House, while H.R.7148 as amended by the Senate replaced full-year Homeland Security appropriations with continuing appropriations through February 13, 2026.
The issue page still says, "I am fighting to fix this broken system and restore security at our southern border." Its newest listed immigration item is the March 5, 2026 DHS funding statement, not a completed reform.
The House Clerk roll-call index lists votes through May 21, 2026; the visible late-May votes are unrelated measures, and the index does not show a vote in the last-lookback window enacting an immigration-system or southern-border-security fix.
Congress.gov shows H.R. 4393, "To secure the border and reform the immigration laws," with Rep. Dan Newhouse as an original cosponsor; the latest action is 07/15/2025 referral to House committees.
Congress.gov's FY2026 appropriations table says H.R. 7147 passed the House on January 22, 2026, then the Senate amended the companion vehicle on January 30, 2026 to replace full-year Homeland Security appropriations with continuing appropriations through February 13, 2026.
Assessments
The promise was not fulfilled. The evidence shows Dan Newhouse materially supported border-security and immigration measures, including House passage of H.R. 2, cosponsorship of H.R. 4393, DHS appropriations votes, and sector-specific immigration reform efforts. But none of those actions produced enactment of a systemwide immigration fix or a completed restoration of southern border security, and his official page continued to describe the goal as ongoing in 2025 and 2026. Because he made serious legislative efforts without achieving the promised outcome, this fits failed delivery with effort rather than partial credit for a completed result.
Newhouse made serious same-term legislative efforts, including supporting H.R. 2/Secure the Border Act, DHS border-security appropriations, H.R.4393/Dignity Act, and sector-specific farm workforce immigration reforms. But the evidence shows these were House votes, introduced bills, appropriations efforts, or ongoing advocacy, not enacted systemwide reform that fixed immigration and restored southern-border security. Because the promised outcome remains undelivered despite substantial effort, this should be scored as not delivered with an effort badge.
Newhouse made concrete same-term efforts toward the promise, including supporting H.R. 2, voting to advance and pass House border-security legislation, advocating Title 42 continuation, border-wall construction, and DHS border-security appropriations. However, the promised outcome was broad and substantive: fixing the immigration system and restoring security at the southern border. The evidence shows advocacy, House-side legislative activity, and appropriations support, but not enactment or completion of a comprehensive immigration fix or restored border security. Because there was a serious legislative effort but the promised outcome was not delivered, this is best scored as never with an effort badge.
Newhouse made concrete legislative and advocacy efforts toward the promise, including supporting H.R. 2, backing procedural votes to advance border-security legislation, and voting for Homeland Security appropriations framed around border security. However, the evidence does not show the promised outcome was achieved: the immigration system was not shown to be fixed, nor was southern border security restored in the broad sense promised. House passage, appropriations votes, and issue-page advocacy are serious attempts but fall short of fulfillment.
