If Bill Gates calls Alabama’s new congressman pushing for more guest workers…

Six Republican candidates vying for the open seat in Alabama’s 6th Congressional District stopped by Yellowhammer News HQ in downtown Birmingham last week to answer five questions. This week we’re posting a series of videos showing their responses. Each day (Monday-Friday), we will post one question along with each candidate’s response. The responses were limited to one minute each. Our goal was to ask specific questions, then make it as easy as possible for you to compare the candidates and make the most informed decision possible when you head to the polls June 3rd.

Up first… Immigration.
