The National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) has officially and unanimously endorsed former president Donald Trump for the upcoming presidential election in November.
The NBPC is the main labor union representing agents and support staff of the United States Border Patrol. During a campaign rally in Prescott Valley, Arizona, on Oct. 12, NBPC President Paul Perez joined Trump on stage to officially announce the union's support for the Republican presidential nominee.
"America, I have a message for you. If we allow border czar [Vice President Kamala] Harris to win this election, every city, every community in this great country is going to go to hell," Perez said. "The untold millions of people unvetted, who she has allowed into this country that are committing murders, rapes, robberies, burglaries and every other crime will continue to put our country in peril."
"Only one man can fix that. That is Donald J. Trump. He has always stood with the men and women who protect this border, who put their lives on the line for the country," he continued. "On behalf of the 16,000 men and women represented by the National Border Patrol Council, we strongly support and endorse Donald J. Trump for President of the United States."
Perez noted that their choices could either continue the border chaos or put an end to it. (Related: United Auto Workers president says "a great majority" of union members WON'T VOTE for Biden despite official endorsement.)
As a response, Trump thanked the NBPC for its endorsement on his official account on X. "Thank you to the 16,000 Border Patrol Officers for your COMPLETE ENDORSEMENT and SUPPORT!" he posted, along with the video clip of Perez' official statement.
NBPC endorsement validates poll result showing voters trust Trump over Harris on immigration and border security
The NBPC endorsement validated the result of a recent Rasmussen poll that voters trust Trump more than Harris on immigration policy and border security.
According to the poll, conducted from Sept. 15 to 17 among 987 likely voters, 51 percent of respondents trust Trump over Harris on immigration policy and border security, compared to the 43 percent who favor Harris over Trump.
The result also revealed the importance of immigration among these likely voters for the upcoming election. For instance, 75 percent of respondents say immigration will be an important factor in casting their votes in November. Meanwhile, 51 percent believe immigration policy will be "very important" in casting their votes compared to the 23 percent who believe it is less important. Among those who believe immigration is "very important," 80 percent trust Trump over Harris in handling the issue.
Along party lines, 77 percent of Democrats back Harris on immigration compared to the 84 percent of Republicans who trust Trump. Independents also trust Trump more than Harris, with 53 percent backing him and 39 percent supporting Harris. Additionally, the results found that 33 percent of Democrats, 71 percent of Republicans and 50 percent of independents believe immigration policy is an important election issue.
Moreover, 78 percent of white voters, 71 percent of Black voters, 71 percent of Hispanic voters and 69 percent of non-Black minorities believe immigration and border security are important factors that would influence their vote in November. The issue also reflects among voters across income levels, with higher-income earners generally leaning toward Harris, while those earning between $50,000 and $100,000 favor Trump.
