The Latest: Sen. Ron Johnson Blasts Border-Index Effort

The Latest on Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson's rejection of a color-coded system to measure border security. All times local:
1 p.m.
The chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee is blasting a now-derailed effort to use a system of reds, yellows and greens to measure border security.
Ron Johnson said Friday that a consultant's report that cost the Department of Homeland Security $90,000 addresses a question for which the answer is known. He says measuring border security is complex and requires sophisticated and consistent metrics — not colors.
The Wisconsin Republican says a bill he has introduced would include measurements that help the government decide how to spend money on border security.
