The promise was framed as supporting military deployment to the southern border, not personally enacting it. During the same term, the executive branch formally directed Armed Forces and National Guard support at the southern border, and Hunt publicly aligned himself with that policy while introducing related border-security legislation. Because the promised policy outcome occurred and Hunt supported it, this is best classified as delivered, though the main deployment authority came through executive action rather than Hunt's bill.
