The Honorable Senator Susan Collins: I read of your proposed compromise to end the federal shutdown, and I was appalled by your suggestions. In his January 4, 2019 letter to Congress, President Trump says: “…. our first task should be to reopen the Government and to deliver on our highest duty as elected official: the security of the Nation and its borders.” Why are you selling out our President? As stated by the President, your highest duty is to the security of our nation After your vote in 2013 for S.744, that atrocious “comprehensive immigration reform” bill that, I truly wonder where you loyalties lie. When was the last time you read Article. IV. Section. 4. of the U.S. Constitution? “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion….” What is going on at our southern border is an “invasion.” Have you blinders on? Haven’t you seen the videos of young out of control throwing rocks at our Border Patrol agents, and attempting to scale our fences? You should be supporting President Trump; he is trying to protect us, and you are selling us out.
