House Republicans pass $694m border bill
House Republicans bill to strengthen the US border with Mexico amid a surge in arrivals from Central America has been passed by the House of Representatives.
The $694m (£412m) bill would deploy National Guard troops at the southern border and speed up deportations.
President Barack Obama, who asked for $3.7bn, described the Republican package as "extreme" and "unworkable".
The bill will not go before the Senate, which was unable to agree a bill itself and is in recess until September.
