I’m proud of the Republican Party when its members don’t feel like they have to march in lockstep with the head of their party.

Republican lawmakers who generally back President Bush are not backing him on immigration. In fact, they want their leaders to know they have “serious concerns” about President Bush’s proposed immigration policy.

In a letter addressed to House Speaker Dennis Hastert, Rep. Walter Jones (R-N.C.) and several other members of the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus said they won’t go along with the president’s plan because it “does not address the problem appropriately.”

I’ve personally heard the “lockstep” charge myself, and news like this just goes to prove that all wrong.
