Evidence

Politico reported that Smucker emerged as a key budget negotiator, pushing a $500 billion cut amendment and a spending-cuts trigger to force a more austere reconciliation bill.

Shows Smucker actively helping advance a hardline fiscal package that later carried immigration and benefits restrictions, though it is indirect on the specific taxpayer-dollars claim.

House Republicans passed the Secure America Act 214-212, a $70 billion package funding ICE, CBP, and DHS through September 2029.

Recent House action shows the anti-immigration agenda is still being advanced, but this is enforcement funding rather than a direct benefits-ban provision.

The report said New York revised its budget to include health coverage for low-income residents including undocumented immigrants, while federal dollars remained restricted from supporting those benefits under the prior OBBB framework.

This is the clearest recent sign that federal rules tied to the earlier reconciliation law are being used to block public money from non-citizen coverage, though the article does not name Smucker directly.

Smucker appears to have fulfilled this promise in the activity-based sense the claim uses. During his current House term, he was a meaningful participant in the 2025 budget and reconciliation push, with reporting describing him as a key negotiator and holdout whose demands shaped the package. That package included provisions aimed at preventing taxpayer-supported health coverage for undocumented immigrants, and later reporting indicates those federal restrictions remained part of the operative framework in 2026. He was not the sole author of the outcome, but he materially advanced the relevant provisions in office, which is enough for full credit on a promise to 'keep advancing' them.
