Evidence
Kennedy said he introduced the PROTECT Act of 2026 to protect American workers; the release says the bill raises the H-1B visa fee to $100,000 and is intended to address abuse of the program and protect national security. The page tags the release with Border Security and Border Security and Immigration Reform.
Kennedy’s official votes page lists his recent votes and shows that on 04/29/2026 the House considered S. Con. Res. 33, described as the FY2026 congressional budget resolution, and his recorded vote is listed as 'Not Voting'.
Assessments
Kennedy has shown same-term effort toward the border-security/immigration portion by introducing the PROTECT Act of 2026, which his office framed as addressing visa abuse and national security. However, the evidence does not show enactment of enhanced border security, and it does not show meaningful delivery on fiscal restraint; the cited major budget vote lists him as not voting. Because the promise was broad and framed as working toward both fiscal restraint and border security, the record supports partial credit for effort but not full delivery.
