Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush’s immigration-policy ideas have made headlines because of the stark contrast between his views and the hawkish rhetoric of other GOP presidential candidates. But Bush’s positions are not new, and have set him apart from the field in another way.

Almost every other GOP presidential candidate has recently altered his or her views on a pathway to citizenship or earned legal status for illegal immigrants, seen by many conservatives as amnesty, after endorsing some form of legalization in the past. Bush has long favored legalization, though he no longer appears willing to make a full-throated argument for a pathway to citizenship.
