H.R.133 became Public Law No: 116-260 on 12/27/2020. Congress.gov summary of Division FF states that it requires the State Department to develop a strategy to prioritize and expand educational and professional exchange programs with Mexico.

The same policy was enacted as part of Public Law 116-260 before Cornyn's 2015-2021 Senate term ended, moving the promise beyond a failed bill into law.

Congress.gov lists United States-Mexico Economic Partnership Act among the enacted short titles in H.R.133 and lists the original official title as: To promote economic partnership and cooperation between the United States and Mexico.

The enacted omnibus incorporated the United States-Mexico Economic Partnership Act, confirming that the U.S.-Mexico exchange-policy measure was part of the final law.

Assessments

Cornyn directly sponsored S.587 in the 116th Congress, which matched the promise by directing the State Department to prioritize and expand educational and professional exchange programs with Mexico as part of broader U.S.-Mexico economic cooperation. The same policy was later incorporated into H.R.133 and enacted as Public Law 116-260 on December 27, 2020, before the end of Cornyn's 2015-2021 Senate term, so it counts as delivered in the same term with clear candidate credit.
