I am committed to securing our border and restoring law and order by reinstating effective Trump-era immigration policies. This includes completing the border wall, defunding "sanctuary" cities, ending "catch and release," and re-implementing "remain in Mexico."
Secure the border by reinstating effective Trump-era immigration policies, including completing the border wall, defunding sanctuary cities, ending catch and release, and re-implementing remain in Mexico.
Occurrences
I will work with President Trump to build the wall on our southern border, deport dangerous illegal aliens from our country, and take action against sanctuary policies that place the security of our nation and citizens in jeopardy.
I will also work to pass legislation that bars illegal immigrants from getting free college and healthcare on the backs of hardworking tax payers and fight back against attempts to give amnesty to those who broke the law to come here.
Please consider supporting my campaign with a donation of any sum within your means so that I can continue to fight in Congress to secure our borders.
Evidence
Harshbarger says she will advocate for strong border security measures, including resuming construction of Trump’s wall, and says she has co-sponsored bills such as H.R. 4828 and H.R. 780 to bring back Trump-era border policies and block funding for sanctuary cities.
Congress.gov shows H.R. 4828 was introduced in the House on 2021-07-29 and remained at the introduced stage. The bill text required DHS to resume construction of the border barrier system and included other border-security measures. Harshbarger is listed among the bill’s cosponsors.
Congress.gov shows H.R. 780 was introduced in the House on 2023-02-02 and stayed introduced. The bill text would prohibit federal financial assistance to sanctuary cities. Harshbarger is listed as an original cosponsor.
The member record lists Harshbarger’s cosponsorship of border-related bills including H.R. 4828 and H.R. 780, and congressional action records show those measures remained in introduced or committee stages rather than becoming enacted law.
Assessments
Harshbarger made concrete federal legislative efforts toward parts of the promise, including cosponsoring H.R. 4828 to resume border wall construction and H.R. 780 to restrict federal assistance to sanctuary cities. However, the cited bills remained introduced or in committee and did not become law, and the evidence does not show that she delivered the full promised outcome: completing the wall, defunding sanctuary cities, ending catch and release, and reimplementing Remain in Mexico. Because she made serious legislative attempts but the promised policy package was not enacted through her efforts, this is a failed promise with an effort badge rather than partial or delivered.
Harshbarger took concrete legislative steps toward parts of the promise, including cosponsoring bills to resume border wall construction and restrict funding to sanctuary cities. However, the cited bills did not advance into enacted law, and the evidence does not show that the full promised outcome was delivered, including completing the wall, ending catch and release, or re-implementing Remain in Mexico. Because there was serious legislative effort but the promised policy outcome was not achieved, the appropriate outcome is never with an effort badge.
