Where two-term Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal stands on various issues that will be debated in the Republican presidential campaign:

Jindal has expressed support for giving people who are in the country illegally a way to gain legal status through guest-workers visas — once the border is secure. With the same prerequisite of a secure border, he’s also said he is open to granting citizenship to those who came illegally if they gain proficiency in English, pay a fine and have worked and paid taxes after obtaining legal status for “a substantial period of time.” Under Jindal, Louisiana joined a lawsuit seeking to block President Barack Obama’s executive action to grant work permits to millions of immigrants in the country illegally. Obama’s action is on hold pending an appeals court ruling.
