"Wingin' it" (but with a purpose)

This is, to me, a bit different than the discretion to focus on gang violence rather than littering because someone's burrito wrapper flew by. I think Senator Cruz hit it:

Quote:
“However, today's hearing revealed that the last clear metric for border security - 'operational control' - reflected that in 2010, DHS had secured 873 miles of the more than 2,000 mile border. When that metric did not demonstrate success, DHS decided to simply abandon the metric. In order for a metric to be real, it must be meaningful. Currently, there are no objective metrics in place to ensure any triggers in this bill will be meaningful, all while the pathway to citizenship component remains contingent on this undefined border security.”
If a goal is to secure movement efforts for the future you grow your own, and simultaneously make some of your own.
