The enrolled H.R. 1 became an act and GovInfo lists the final enrolled bill. The underlying reconciliation measure included homeland security and immigration provisions in the enacted package.

Fitzgerald said the legislation 'delivers on our promise to bring tax relief, reduce government waste, and secure our border' and that it 'fully funds President Trump’s border wall and increases staffing for ICE and Border Patrol.'

His own office explicitly tied the enacted bill to border security and cited wall and personnel funding.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Fitzgerald promised broadly to defend the border, protect Americans, stop illegal drug trade, end illegal immigration, and prioritize national security. During his federal House tenure he voted for and publicly advocated border and immigration enforcement measures, including the Laken Riley Act and H.R. 1, which was enacted with border-security, wall, ICE, and Border Patrol funding provisions. That is concrete same-term progress toward border security and immigration enforcement. However, the promise was broad and outcome-level, including ending illegal immigration and stopping the illegal drug trade, and the evidence does not show those outcomes were fully achieved. Credit is therefore partial rather than delivered.

partial same_term A for effort

Fitzgerald promised to defend the border, stop illegal drug trade, end illegal immigration, and prioritize national security. As a federal House member, he voted for and publicly supported enacted border/immigration-related legislation, including H.R. 1 funding for border wall, ICE, and Border Patrol, and supported the Laken Riley Act. That materially advances the border-security portion of the promise during his same federal term. However, the broader promised outcomes of ending illegal immigration and stopping illegal drug trade are not shown as fully achieved, so this merits partial delivery rather than full delivered.

partial same_term A for effort

Fitzgerald made concrete legislative efforts toward the promise, including voting for the Laken Riley Act and supporting/voting for H.R. 1, an enacted reconciliation package with border-security, wall, ICE, and Border Patrol funding. His office explicitly framed H.R. 1 as delivering on border security. However, the campaign promise was broader than funding or enforcement votes, including stopping the illegal drug trade, ending illegal immigration, and protecting Americans; the evidence shows meaningful delivery on part of the border-security agenda but not full completion of the broader promised outcome.
