“I am disappointed that Congress kicked the can down the road on solving for this important issue yet again.” He said the system needs “long-term legislation that starts with encouraging lawful behavior and guaranteeing a secure border.”

Womack said Congress failed to enact the kind of long-term immigration legislation he was advocating, showing the promise was still unfulfilled in 2018.

Congressman Steve Womack voted in support of H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act of 2023, which aims to combat illegal immigration and secure the border.

Womack continued to take concrete legislative action for border security later in office, but the bill did not become law, so this is effort rather than fulfillment.

Assessments

never unknown A for effort

The promised outcome required both securing the border and enacting a long-term immigration policy encouraging lawful behavior. During the relevant federal House service after the 2016 campaign, Congress did not enact that combined policy outcome. Womack supported and publicly advocated immigration and border-security legislation, including the failed 2018 House bill and later H.R. 2 in 2023, but those efforts did not become the promised enacted long-term policy. Because he made serious legislative efforts but the outcome was not delivered, this is a failed promise with an effort badge.
