The Steering Committee of the Republican Study Committee released the following statement on the Securing America's Future Act (H.R. 4760):

"The Securing America's Future Act is the framework to strengthen border security, increase interior enforcement and resolve the DACA situation.

Washington - Chairman Mark Walker released the following statement after House passage of the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act (H.R. 4712):

"Today's vote reaffirms the intrinsic value of all life.

This bill makes it clear that the killing of a child who has been born alive is a clear act of murder."

Washington - Chairman Mark Walker released the following statement greeting the 45th Annual March for Life:

"The March for Life is a bittersweet event. On one hand, it commemorates a great atrocity on America's conscience: abortion. On other hand, it is uplifting to see so many young people come out year after year in the bitter cold to fight for the rights of unborn children. On this 45th anniversary of the March for Life, the pro-life community should also be praised for their work the other 364 days of the year in helping all mothers and children."

"A little over one year ago, Americans elected a unified Republican government based on the promise that we would reform the tax code and repeal Obamacare. With today's vote, the House keeps our word by completely overhauling our tax system and repealing the onerous individual mandate of Obamacare. I urge the Senate to pass this bill without changes."
