A large group of 21 House conservatives blocked the bill, a defeat for House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and GOP leaders.
The House failed to advance its short-term measure to fund the government just one day before funding is set to run out. The final vote was 232-198.
Earlier in the day, a procedural vote to start debate on the bill advanced 218-210, prompting Republican applause in the chamber. The border provisions were from Republicans' major legislation passed earlier this year, such as a restart of border wall construction and tougher penalties for visa overstays.
Asked about hard-liner opposition, McCarthy said: "We'll see. I can't understand why someone would side with President Biden and keeping the border open. We'll see when the vote comes. If those individuals vote that way, you should ask them that question."
