Occurrences

We must know who is entering and exiting our country to protect Americans domestically and ensure that we enforce our immigration laws so as not to incentivize those who want to enter the United States to do so illegally.

Evidence

unverified · Source version 64072 · locator unknown

Public Law 119-21 was approved July 4, 2025. It appropriates $46.55 billion for border infrastructure and wall systems, $6.168 billion for border security technology and screening, including biometric entry/exit systems and screening persons entering or exiting the United States, and creates an inadmissible alien apprehension fee for aliens apprehended between ports of entry.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Enacted federal law partially delivers the promise by funding border infrastructure, entry/exit screening and biometric systems, and enforcement-related penalties. It does not prove full border security or comprehensive immigration enforcement, so this is partial delivery.

The Senate recorded Vote 372 on passage of H.R. 1, as amended. The vote result was Bill Passed, 50 yeas to 50 nays with the Vice President voting yea. The roll call lists Lee (R-UT), Yea.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Lee took a concrete official action supporting the enacted H.R. 1 package that funded border infrastructure, screening, biometric entry/exit technology, and immigration enforcement measures. This supports partial delivery in the same Senate term.

Public Law 119-21 was enacted during Lee's current Senate term and funded border infrastructure, border-security technology, screening, biometric entry/exit systems, and enforcement-related fees. Lee voted yea on Senate passage of H.R. 1, materially supporting the enacted package. This advances the promise, but the evidence does not show full border security, complete entry/exit control, or comprehensive enforcement against illegal-entry incentives, so it is partial rather than full delivery.
