GA Congressional representatives, past and present: on Immigration
Karen Handel:
Ok with 6-country immigration ban, but no religious test
Handel aligned herself with the president when asked about the biggest items on his agenda, but she also indicated she wasn't afraid of disagreeing with him. She backed the Trump's proposal to temporarily block visitors from six primarily
Muslim Middle East nations while homeland security officials revamp their vetting process for foreign visitors, but she said she would not support any sort of "religious litmus test."

Jon Ossoff:
Unconstitutional to slander or ban entire religious groups
Jon's mother is an immigrant who became a small business owner, an American citizen, and a champion for women's rights. America should welcome those strivers who, like our own forebears, seek the opportunity to work hard, play by the rules, and build
better lives in America.Jon believes it is a violation of core American principles to slander entire religious groups and that it's unconstitutional to ban anyone from entering our country on religious grounds.

Drew Ferguson:
We CANNOT allow this flow of unvetted refugees to continue
Just ANOTHER Refugee? President Obama continues to go out of his way to get more and more Syrian refugees into the United States. Tens of thousands of refugees that we know NOTHING about. We could easily be letting in dangerous individuals who pose
an immediate threat to our national security.Well, enough is enough. We CANNOT allow this flow of unvetted refugees to continue.
Their entry into our country not only threatens our national security, but it also stands to pose a direct threat to the safety of each and every American. Our families and communities stand to be at risk.
We must secure our borders and increase our
national security NOW, not after something bad happens. The LAST thing we need in our country is additional unvetted refugees from terror hot spots around the world.

Rick Allen:
Our borders remain vulnerable; block any amnesty
Immigration is another example of Washington's failure to solve the major problems facing our nation. For the last few decades, politicians have debated the problem of illegal immigrants, yet our borders remain vulnerable.
We must immediately secure the border, enforce the laws we currently have on the books, and block any solution that includes amnesty for illegals.
