During the 2016 presidential election, the group made its first presidential endorsement in October 2016 for Republican nominee Donald Trump, who later was elected the 45th president of the United States.[1] The NBPC again supported Donald Trump during his re-election campaign in 2020.[6]
In February 2024, the council endorsed a bipartisan border security bill in the U.S. Senate intended to sharply reduce incentives for migrants to attempt crossings over the Mexico–United States border, describing it as "not perfect" but "far better than the status quo".[7] The bill was later blocked by Republican members of the senate at the request of former President Donald Trump.[8]
