White House officials complained the bill had no money for tougher border security, including funds for a border wall.
The vice president was asked what the Trump administration could do to help kids held in detention, but Mike Pence merely said Democrats needed to "step up."
The kids were unresponsive, feverish and vomiting, yet receiving no medical care, according to lawyers.

The one-month-old infant was wrapped in a dirty towel and looked listless, according to immigration lawyers who visited the facility.
