Barbara Comstock Votes With Democrats to Fully Fund DHS through September

written by Jeanine Martin March 3, 2015

In a shocking vote today Barbara Comstock voted with the three democrats from Virginia to fully fund Department of Homeland Security through September 30, 2015.  Other than Comstock, all Republican Congressmen from Virginia voted against the bill. [read_more]Of course John Boehner voted for the bill, along with Debbie Wasserman Shultz.

Comstock issued the following press release:

“President Obama’s misguided foreign policy that rewards our enemies and slights our allies has created an unstable world. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reminded all of us of that today in the House.  I voted today to fund the Department of Homeland Security because we must continue to protect our borders, air travel, and ports with the dedicated employees that work tirelessly each and every day to keep America safe in this dangerous world.

“I fundamentally disagree with President Obama’s constitutional overreach on immigration.  This bill contains no funding to carry out the unilateral actions by President Obama on immigration.

“Twenty-six states have taken legal action against President Obama’s constitutional overreach and are currently challenging the constitutionality of his action.  I support these efforts and a federal court has stepped-in to temporary halt the President’s constitutional overreach.  President Obama himself said that he could not take this constitutional overreach twenty-two times before he did it.  I also oppose the Senate’s irresponsible refusal to take this debate to a Conference Committee on the House pass bill that I voted for in January. I will continue to fight this overreach but doing it through the Department of Homeland Security funding bill was not the path at this time.”

From the Washington Post, 

The measure will not target Obama’s executive actions on immigration, giving Democrats what they have long demanded and potentially enraging conservatives bent on fighting the president on immigration.

It is maddening when a Republican Congressman gives the democrats what they have “long demanded”, and yes, conservatives are enraged.

Barbara ComstockCongressman Comstock’s vote is appalling and an example of exactly why Republicans in Virginia need local conventions to nominate our candidates. If Comstock continues down the path of voting with democrats, and cozying up to Eric Cantor and John Boehner, Republicans in the 10th district will be able to choose her replacement in a convention in 2016. Barbara Comstock will be waving good-bye, as she is in the accompanying photograph.
