Evidence
"I fully support building the wall, sending illegals back to their country of origin, and fully enforcing the law on those that are in our country illegally... I will carry on President Trump’s agenda and his legacy to fight against illegal immigration and fulfill our Constitutional duty to protect our borders."
GovInfo lists H.R. 1531 as introduced by Rep. Dale W. Strong, titled: "To provide for the renewed availability of funds to construct the border wall upon the deployment of the National Guard to the southern land border of the United States, and for other purposes."
Strong said he voted for H.R. 1 to advance President Trump's agenda and that the bill "provides resources to complete and construct over 2,300 miles of border wall" and "restore[s] integrity" by ensuring federal funds do not go to people illegally present.
Strong introduced the Deport Illegal Voters Act, saying it would add unlawful voting to aggravated felonies and expedite deportation of convicted individuals; he tied the bill to border crossings and illegal immigration.

Assessments
Strong promised to support border wall construction, immigration-law enforcement, and Trump's border agenda in a federal House context. During the relevant congressional service he introduced H.R. 1531 to renew border-wall construction funds and introduced immigration-enforcement legislation, which shows direct material effort. The broader promised outcome was substantially delivered later through his vote for the Trump-aligned H.R. 1 package that included major border-wall and immigration-enforcement funding. Because this was a federal legislative promise and Strong materially supported the enacted/advanced package rather than merely commenting from outside office, candidate credit is appropriate, but the completion falls after the 2024 campaign context, so timing is later_term.
Strong made the promised immigration agenda a concrete part of his federal House activity: he introduced H.R. 1531 to renew border-wall construction funds, introduced enforcement-focused deportation legislation, and later voted for a Trump-aligned package he described as funding more border-wall construction and restricting benefits for people unlawfully present. Because the promise was framed as fighting illegal immigration by supporting and advancing these policies, not as personally completing the entire wall or single-handedly enacting all immigration changes, these legislative actions satisfy the commitment. The strongest matching actions occurred while he was serving in the federal office connected to the campaign context.
