Do Jeb Bush and the majority of GOP voters agree on immigration?

Miami Herald

As Jeb Bush readies his push to win the Republican nomination, one of the charges he has to fend off is that he lacks conservative zeal. The issue popped up June 14, 2015, on Fox News Sunday, when a viewer suggested in a note to the show that Bush seems like more of a Democrat than a Republican.

Conservative columnist George Will sprang to Bush’s defense. On cutting taxes and government as governor of Florida, and on social issues, Will said Bush was every bit a conservative as President Ronald Reagan, and maybe more.

Will downplayed Bush’s electoral challenge even on the hot button issue of immigration.

"He happens to be where a majority of Republicans are," Will said. "His (position) is a pathway to legal status."

For the record, Bush’s position on immigration has been complicated. Turn to PunditFact to see what Jon Greenberg found.
