Paul Ryan blames Senate, Democrats for spending bill failures

House Speaker Paul Ryan on Thursday said the Senate and congressional Democrats are the chief reason why Congress is rushing to pass a giant, $1.3 trillion spending bill this week that doesn’t go as far as Republicans want on the border wall.

Speaking on Fox News, Ryan said Republicans tried to get more border wall funding in the bill, and were offering to extend protections for illegal immigrants under the rescinded Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. But he said Democrats refused.
