Evidence

Carter’s office said the Texas delegation border security plan would complete physical infrastructure, improve enforcement, end asylum loopholes, and target cartels.

This is strong evidence of Carter advocating for completion of physical border infrastructure, but it is only a stated goal and not proof the infrastructure was actually completed.

Carter said the House-passed Secure the Border Act would force the Biden administration to restart construction of the border wall and deploy additional border technology.

This shows Carter advancing concrete border-wall legislation, but the measure only passed the House and did not complete the promised infrastructure.

CBP says more than 100 miles of new border wall and waterborne barrier are in various stages of planning and construction, alongside temporary barriers.

As of this official CBP status page, border wall construction is ongoing and incomplete, which contradicts any claim that physical border infrastructure has been fully completed.

CBP states that more than 100 miles of new border wall and waterborne barrier are still in various stages of planning and construction, and that the border wall projects currently in planning and construction are funded with prior year appropriations from FY 2020 and FY 2021; CBP also says it has not received any new funding for the border wall system since FY 2021.

Official CBP status confirms the physical border infrastructure is still under construction and not completed, which supports a never/unresolved outcome rather than delivery.

Assessments

never unknown A for effort

The promise was to complete physical border infrastructure, a broad federal border-wall/infrastructure outcome. The evidence shows Carter advocated for and materially advanced the goal, including backing the Texas delegation plan and the House-passed Secure the Border Act, which would have restarted wall construction. But the promised outcome was not delivered: CBP later reported that more than 100 miles of border wall and waterborne barrier remained in planning or construction and that no new border wall system funding had been received since FY 2021. Because Carter made a serious legislative effort but the physical infrastructure was not completed, this is best classified as not delivered with an effort badge.

never unknown A for effort

Carter advocated for completing physical border infrastructure and materially advanced related legislation, including the House-passed Secure the Border Act, but the promised outcome was not delivered. The evidence indicates the infrastructure remained in planning and construction rather than completed, and a House-passed bill or delegation plan does not itself complete the border infrastructure. Because there was a serious legislative effort but no completed outcome, this is best scored as never with an effort badge.

never unknown A for effort

The evidence shows Carter advocated for completing physical border infrastructure and supported a serious legislative effort through the House-passed Secure the Border Act, but the promised outcome was not delivered. Official CBP status information indicates border wall and related infrastructure remained in planning or construction rather than completed. Because there was meaningful legislative effort without completion of the promised result, the outcome is never with effort_badge=true.
