What the record shows ·
Two border-security measures reached a recorded vote in the 119th Congress and she voted Yea on both, on March 10, 2025: the Subterranean Border Defense Act (Roll Call 63) and the Emerging Innovative Border Technologies Act (Roll Call 65). Both passed. No vote in this Congress was found on hiring ten thousand border agents or on a military presence at the border.

Limit: The claim bundles three things and the current Congress's record carries the first. The other two were not located in it, and this check covered the 119th Congress only — she has served since 1983, so a vote from an earlier Congress would not appear here and is not ruled out.
