Republican presidential hopeful Jeb Bush said he will find a way for 11 million undocumented immigrants to stay in the United States.

The former Florida governor vowed to launch comprehensive reform, saying that he will make a way for stronger borders, according to Raw Story. Bush says a new president can carry out comprehensive immigration reform only if the new leader "is committed to protecting the border."

Meanwhile, President Barack Obama has hit a dead end with Congress in his efforts to carry out comprehensive immigration reform. When he was running for president back in 2008, Obama promised some of the same ideas Bush now is vowing to make happen.

Telemundo interviewed Bush, in Spanish, to show his support for the Latino community, the fastest growing minority group in America.

The former governor's views on immigration are more liberal than the average Republican, but the issue hits home. His wife was born in Mexico.

"We speak Spanish at home. We eat Mexican food at home. Our kids are Hispanic in a lot of ways. So the Hispanic influence in my family is very important in my life," Bush said.

The son of ex-president George H.W. Bush and brother to former president George W. Bush topped Sen. Marco Rubio in a Bendixen & Amandi poll among Cuban-Americans across Miami-Dade, Florida.

"Jeb is an honorary Cuban, but Marco Rubio would be the first actual Cuban American president. So how is the Cuban community not supporting him en masse?" Amandi said. "Marco Rubio hasn't made a persuasive case to his own community that he can win. And if he can't make that case here, he can't win Florida if the trend holds."

Bush's liberal views on immigration may win him the support of Latinos in America, but he is facing a lot of competition. Some Republicans have stronger support from evangelicals, supporters of traditional values and religious freedom advocates.
