Come to think of it, her survey looks a lot like the immigration-free polls Dr. Tom Price ran in his final years in congress.<\/p>\n<p>The concept that Republican politicians in Georgia were emboldened by the success of President Trump&#8217;s campaign<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ontheissues.org\/2016\/Donald_Trump_Immigration.htm\"> focused on immigration and American jobs<\/a> and wages is proven upside-down wrong on a daily basis.

Now, with immigration and our borders in &#8220;the news&#8221; literally everyday for more than a year, we see that it is apparently untouchable for at least one candidate for congress from Georgia&#8217;s 6th district.<\/p>\n<p>Below is the contents of an email from the Karen Handle campaign.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Note: Candidate Handel wants to hear from you <a href=\"https:\/\/karenhandel.com\/district-survey\/?utm_source=SAemail&amp;utm_campaign=2017-02-26_DistrictSurvey_KH&amp;utm_medium=Email\">&#8220;as soon as possible.&#8221;\u00a0<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>From \u00a0Karen Handel in today&#8217;s email:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Fellow Conservative,<\/p>\n<p>I need your help.<\/p>\n<p>Our team put together a brief district survey to determine what issues matter most to you and your family, and I&#8217;d like you to give me your input as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>This election is so very important, and the choices we make will determine the kind of country we want our children and grandchildren to live in.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve had the opportunity to meet with some incredible people in our community and learn what they wanted to see happen in Congress, and now I want to hear from you.
