In the past when republicans talked about gaining support from the republican base they were talking about Conservative Republicans, I don’t believe that’s who they have in mind anymore.
Has Jeb stated his position on closing the border - perhaps before any other action is taken?

Step 2 : Confirm the efficacy of the physical border barrier, and its continued maintenance.
Step 3 : Now we can talk about any other additional steps necessary to apply our existing immigration laws.
