I will continue to allocate resources to target and end illegal border crossings and crimes at the border.
Continue allocating resources to target and end illegal border crossings and border crimes.
Occurrences
Evidence
The campaign site says Hamadeh is taking on the political class by supporting America First principles that will secure our southern border and stand up for everyday Arizonans.
Congress.gov shows that on January 28, 2025, Mr. Hamadeh of Arizona was an introducer of H.R. 749, a bill to increase penalties for individuals who illegally reenter the United States after removal.
Congress.gov lists H.R. 203 with Hamadeh as a cosponsor and includes the subject term 'Border security and unlawful immigration'; the bill would withhold certain federal highway funds from states that provide IDs to unlawfully present aliens.
Hamadeh's office said he introduced the American Border Story Memorial Act with angel families and described it as honoring victims of 'the open border and illegal immigration.'
Assessments
Hamadeh won the 2024 federal House race and, after taking office, introduced or cosponsored border- and immigration-enforcement legislation, including H.R. 749 to increase penalties for illegal reentry and H.R. 203 related to state IDs for unlawfully present aliens. That is a concrete later-term effort aligned with the promise to continue allocating resources toward ending illegal border crossings and border crimes. However, the evidence does not show that these measures were enacted or that Hamadeh delivered a completed resource-allocation outcome that ended or materially reduced illegal crossings or border crimes. The campaign statement itself is only a pledge, and the later official actions support credit for effort and partial advancement rather than full fulfillment.
