DHS published waivers to let CBP build border-security infrastructure in Big Bend National Park, including a 17-mile vehicle-barrier system and more than 200 miles of roads, with surveillance equipment also planned.
Assessments
This promise is only partially delivered. In Chip Roy's current federal service period, there has been real movement on parts of the agenda: new federal funding substantially bolstered Border Patrol and ICE, and DHS advanced additional border-barrier infrastructure authority in Texas. But the evidence does not show that the border wall was finished, that cartels were meaningfully defeated, or that illegal entry and illegal presence were stopped. Because Roy is a U.S. representative rather than the executive official directly implementing border policy, and the record here shows policy progress rather than completed outcomes clearly attributable to him personally, full delivery is not justified.
