The article also quotes CBP saying plans for the areas adjacent to Big Bend National Park and State Park were still in the planning stages, showing the project was advancing but not completed.

Assessments
Burchett materially supported the promised border-wall objective through federal legislative action and public advocacy, including votes for border-security and wall-related funding during a later Trump term. However, the evidence shows the wall was still being funded, planned, waived, or restarted rather than completed, and official budget language still describes finishing construction as a future goal. That supports partial credit, not full delivery.
Burchett appears to have materially supported the promise by publicly backing completion of the border wall and citing his vote for H.R. 3602 as a step to restart construction. But the evidence does not show the promised outcome was fully achieved: official 2026 administration materials still describe wall construction as something to be finished, and recent DHS actions in Big Bend were still at the waiver or planning stage rather than completed construction. Because there was concrete later federal progress aligned with his position, but not full completion of the wall, this is best scored as partial with later-term timing rather than delivered.
Burchett publicly supported border-wall construction and voted for legislation he described as restarting it, and federal actions in 2026 still show wall-related funding and permitting steps. But the evidence does not show the wall was actually completed, so the promise is only partially fulfilled rather than fully delivered.
Burchett has continued to support border-wall construction in federal office and cites votes such as H.R. 3602 as efforts to restart or advance construction. However, the promised outcome, building/completing the wall with President Trump, has not been fully delivered. Current federal materials still frame wall completion as a future or ongoing objective, so this is best scored as partial progress with documented effort rather than full delivery.
