Speaker Nancy Pelosi Nancy PelosiPelosi slams Trump executive order on pre-existing conditions: It 'isn't worth the paper it's signed on' On The Money: Anxious Democrats push for vote on COVID-19 aid | Pelosi, Mnuchin ready to restart talks | Weekly jobless claims increase | Senate treads close to shutdown deadline Trump signs largely symbolic pre-existing conditions order amid lawsuit MORE (D-Calif.) on Thursday called on the Senate and Trump administration to meet with House Democrats to hash out their differences on an emergency border aid deal after the Senate rejected the Democratic-led House bill and passed its own bipartisan bill on Wednesday.

While Republicans have advocated for Pelosi to take up the Senate-passed bill, House Democratic leadership argues it lacks necessary provisions to ensure humane conditions at detention facilities in the wake of recent reports of unsanitary conditions and a lack of resources, including water, diapers, toothbrushes, food and soap.

In a "Dear Colleague" letter sent Thursday, Pelosi said Congress needs to address the crisis ahead of its July 4 recess.

“ ‘You’re in Your Mother’s Arms’ should always be a comfort and an assurance to children that everything’s going to be alright. Sadly, current Administration policy and practice at the border pulls apart the connection between parents and children, undermining families,” she wrote.

“The humanitarian emergency at our southern border challenges the conscience of America, and we must act.”

The California Democrat highlighted language in the House bill, including implementing health standards at detention facilities, limiting the amount of time minors can spend at influx shelters, and providing translation services for migrants she feels should be included in the final legislation.

"We are calling upon the Trump Administration and the Senate to engage in an immediate conference to do the best we can for the children before we leave for the 4th of July. Our leverage with the Senate and the Administration is strengthened by the unity of House Democrats,” she said. “I’m very proud of the vote taken on Tuesday. I thank all of our colleagues for their courage and for their humanity."

Republicans have blasted the House bill, arguing House Democrats politicized a crisis by bringing a bill to the floor that contained “poison pills” that the president would not support. It’s unclear whether the Senate will pressure the House to take up its bill or if the two chambers will conference on a compromise bill.
