Rep. Collins: Trump's 'looking out for the American people'

Season 2019 Episode 10 | 7m 13s

Doug Collins, R-Ga., tells Judy Woodruff that the “vast majority” of congressional Republicans want to keep the government shutdown tied to funding a border wall, and that he believes Democrats are prioritizing the well-being of people crossing the border illegally over Americans.
