“Just seven months into office, Congressman Mackenzie has helped to ... secure the border once and for all.” The release also says the budget provides resources to secure the border and references the House-passed legislation.

Mackenzie’s office publicly claimed credit for border-security funding, showing concrete legislative support for the promise, but this is an internal political claim rather than proof that the wall was completed.

CBP says it has more than 100 miles of new border wall and waterborne barrier funded with prior year appropriations in various stages of planning and construction.

As of the latest official CBP FAQ, the border wall system is still under construction rather than finished, which directly undercuts the 'finish building the wall' promise being fully delivered by the as-of date.

The promised outcome was to secure the border and finish building the wall. The evidence shows the wall remained in planning and construction as of 2025, so the core promised outcome was not fulfilled. Mackenzie did make or support serious same-term legislative and political efforts toward border-security funding and wall construction, including public claims of delivering border-security resources and participation around House passage of H.R. 1, but those efforts did not complete the wall or prove the border was secured.
