Will close the southern border and end illegal immigration by ending catch and release, ending sanctuary cities, expediting removals, restoring Remain in Mexico, ending birthright citizenship, and building the border wall.

Here's a list of some of the things I'm doing to close the southern border and end the invasion: ... I authored and introduced the Build the Wall and Deport Them All Act to stop the invasion taking place at our southern border. This legislation will end catch and release, end sanctuary cities, expedite the removal of illegal aliens, restore the Remain in Mexico policy, end birthright citizenship, and build the wall once and for all.

Boebert says she is working to close the southern border and introduced legislation that would end catch and release and sanctuary cities, expedite removals, restore Remain in Mexico, end birthright citizenship, and build the wall.

Roll Call 209 recorded H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act, as passed by the House, 219-213. The vote list shows Boebert, Republican, Colorado, voting Yea.

During the 2023-2025 term relevant to the 2022 campaign, Boebert voted for a major House border-security bill. It passed the House but this roll call alone does not show enactment into law.

GovInfo lists H.R. 2 as the Secure the Border Act of 2023, 118th Congress, 1st Session, Bill Version: Engrossed in House, with the full title: An Act To secure the borders of the United States, and for other purposes.

The official bill record confirms H.R. 2 reached only the Engrossed in House stage in the 118th Congress, supporting that Boebert advanced but did not deliver the full promise through enacted legislation in that term.

The order states U.S. policy includes establishing a physical wall and other barriers, deterring illegal entry, detaining apprehended aliens until removal, promptly removing aliens unlawfully present, and obtaining complete operational control. It directs DHS to terminate catch-and-release and resume Migrant Protection Protocols as soon as practicable.

A later Trump administration executive order addressed several promised components: wall construction, ending catch-and-release, expedited removals, detention, and resuming Remain in Mexico. This is later-term executive action, not a completed Boebert legislative delivery.

The order sets a policy to faithfully execute immigration laws against inadmissible and removable aliens, directs expedited removal measures, detention facilities, 287(g) federal-state agreements, and directs action so sanctuary jurisdictions do not receive federal funds to the maximum extent possible under law.

This later executive order addressed expedited removals, detention, federal-state immigration enforcement, and sanctuary-jurisdiction funding. It supports partial later implementation of the promise but not completion of 'end illegal immigration' or all listed components.

GovInfo lists Public Law 119-1, approved January 29, 2025, with the full title: An act to require the Secretary of Homeland Security to take into custody aliens who have been charged in the United States with theft, and for other purposes.

The Laken Riley Act delivered a narrower immigration-enforcement measure requiring detention of certain charged noncitizens. It partially aligns with ending release of some removable noncitizens, but it does not close the southern border or enact the full list of promised policies.

Roll Call 23 recorded S. 5, the Laken Riley Act, as passed by the House, 263-156. The vote list shows Boebert, Republican, Colorado, voting Yea.

Boebert voted for the final House passage of a later-term immigration detention law that was enacted. This is concrete effort and partial delivery on detention/catch-and-release concerns, not full fulfillment of the broader promise.

The order states that U.S. citizenship does not automatically extend to certain persons born in the United States when the mother was unlawfully present or lawfully but temporarily present and the father was not a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident. It directs agencies not to issue citizenship-recognition documents for those categories after 30 days.

A later executive order attempted to restrict birthright citizenship for some children of noncitizens. Because this is an executive action subject to legal constraints and not Boebert-sponsored legislation, it supports only an unresolved or attempted component of the promise.
