creative approaches you and the department are taking i have one question the request is for you and mrs. garcia it's important to get an analysisal report to track our progress much more retrospectly with numbers with all the twald things you might want to see on a summary the question is and this may to a large degree come from my lack of findings in the scomplekt but i'm wondering how much of the issue can be solved by the things you're doing now inside dph and how much are you hospital knowledge to tangle to the processing that goes on in the city and county outside of depending dph. >> first an little analysisal i've hired an analyst on monday to get a grasp on the numbers so i can provide you information. on the processing part we say as much of 60 percentage is internal from the hiring manager not submitting the form to the f d e and i'm not getting an schedule and putting the energy into turning in the notes 60 percent of the delay is in our control and the 40 percent is primarily with civil service rules when i get 6 are seven hundred applicant and have to treat them fairly it's a huge

mr. garcia said to you, i know that you met him, what kind of indication has he given you?re you worried that ultimately this world cup will be taken away? >> we are not worried. we are confident that the world cup will take place. >> if anyone does try to take it away, because it may not just be about catar. everyone does try to do that, what would you move be then? i don't want to jump the gun, and anticipate things we don't know. we are focusing on heroining from the brazil world cup, and you just have to be confident and focused, that's all you can do. >> i have noticed how diplomatic you have been, and how yo i have held your council, please talk to us about that? is it partly cultural, because what happens is that people sometimes see a silence on an issue, or a delayed response, as some fort of admission of guilty. >> that's partly it, i have to admit, culturally, there are a culture of modesty, and with with modesty sometimes you don't engage publicly, and sometimes if you feel this engangment will bring you to a level that you don't want to stoop down to, a lot of

mr. garcia, for five minutes. mr. garcia: thank you, madam speaker. today i'm proud to be one of the founding members of the state medicaid expansion caucus, and i want to thank congressman butterfield and congressman johnson for their leadership. in my home state of florida there are more than 750,000 people who would benefit from medicaid expansion. these are people who fall within the coverage gap. people who make too much to receive medicaid but too little to receive subsidies. this makes a difference in florida and in many states who have rejected medicaid coverage. just like many states across the country, our governor, governor scott reject $51 billion of federal tax dollars, our tax dollars, noney that could have provided insurance to those in need and could have created over 60,000 jobs. this is money that will strengthen our economy, help florida grow jobs, and supporting hospitals and individuals who need help. i urge governor scott and florida's leaders in the state legislature to do what's right and take action and accept this funding. ma

mr. garcia is recognized for one minute. mr. garcia: mr. speaker, i rise to recognize today guest chaplain reverend alfonso jackson sr. of the second baptist church of richmond heights in my district. i hope you will all join me in thanking him for honoring us with today's opening prayer. for over 30 years, reverend jackson has dedicated himself to serving god, his family and our community in richmond heights. a community created for african-american world war ii veterans so that they could use the g.i. bill. founded 50 years ago, by reverend ferguson, the second baptist church of richmond heights has grown to more than 4,000 members and continues to flourish under his leadership. reverend jackson also helps strengthen his community and outside church by serving as moderator to the seaboard baptist missionary association of florida and second vice president to the florida baptist state convention and the richmond heights community alliance. we can all look to his words today for guidance as we work to resolve our country's most pressing iss

mr. garcia: madam speaker, i rise to support education and stem fields. science, technology -- in stem fields. science, technology, engineering and math. especially as more than 60% of u.s. employers are facing difficulties in finding qualified workers in stem fields. it is essential that we support education in stem fields and remain -- to remain competitive in the 21st century's global economy. that's why i've introduced the innovative stem networks act, which will establish a grant program for schools -- school districts to create partnerships with universities, business, local nonprofits to support stem fields. schools like f.i.u., miami-dade college and the university of miami have dedicated resources to ensuring students have a strong foundation in stem subjects. my bill will replicate their success for students preparing to enter college and the work force. i urge my colleagues to work with me to create jobs and spur economic growth by supporting stem education. i yield back the balance of my time. . eaker pro tempor what purpose dgentleman om minn

mr. garcia: mr. speaker, it's been 13 months, 13 months since the senate passed a bipartisan comprehensive bill. and yet the speaker has not let that bill come to the floor. so we filed a bipartisan bill with almost 200 co-sponsors and still the speaker will not let that bill come to the floor. and why? well, first, they said that the republicans were working on their own bill. so we waited. and we waited for them to put it forward and nothing. then they said they needed more time. so we gave them more time and the republicans gave us nothing. then, then they said it was because the majority leader lost. and finally, finally the fault of not having a comprehensive immigration bill is on the children, the children at the border. we're suddenly scared of children at the border. mr. speaker, there is one person responsible for us not having comprehensive immigration reform and it is the speaker of this house. mr. speaker, give us a vote on comprehensive immigration reform. i yield back the balance of my

mr. wagner? any questions for ms. garcia? okay. any final comments. otherwise we'll understand we'll see you back next week. okay. thank you very much. up next we have our human services agencies, madam clerk, can you call item no. 9, please. >> city clerk: mr. chairman, would you like to have public comment for items 17-206789 >> thank you very much. we do need public comment. mr. roark, real quick, we are going to ask for public comment. anyone wish to comment on those items? okay, public comment is closed. colleagues do we have a motion to send those items forward? >> okay. we can do that without objection. madam clerk, can you call item no. 9. city clerk: item 9. approving expenditure plans human services care fund for fiscal year 2014-2015. >> good afternoon, you are very familiar with our budget. i was here a couple months before with our budget supplemental and went through a lot of detail and similar to what is today. i will be brief. to begin with our proposed about you -- budget for 2014 represents about an $87 million increase, 94 percent i

mr. garcia: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, over the last few months, we've seen an unprecedented number of unaccompanied children coming across our border. while many of my colleagues want to rail about the lack of border enforcement, these kids are immediately being caught and turned over to the border patrol, just throwing more money at the border isn't going to fix the problem. sending the national guard to the border isn't going to do it either. in fact, it's pure political posturing. what we need is comprehensive immigration reform now. fixing our broken immigration system will clear the backlog so we can process these children fairly and efficiently. instead of adding $18 billion, we already spend on immigration enforcement a year, we need a comprehensive strategy based on reliable metrics to allocate resources where they are actually needed. this crisis isn't going to be solved by scare tactics. these are children. we need a wide ranging plan to ensure a fair and humane treatment of the children and the long-te

pedro sula airport the deportees were greeted on the tarmac by the first lady of honduras ana garcia hernandez mrs hernandez came bearing flowers and balloons and greeted the children with kisses but a happy homecoming this is not these women and children fled their home country due to extreme violence and crushing poverty more than half the country lives below the u.n. poverty line with an unemployment rate havering around thirty percent nearly two million residents have no access to potable water. now many of the children fleeing honduras cite horrific violence and fear for their lives as drug fueled gang violence and their city and the adults say the u.s. is to blame for that gang violence that's running rampant called mara salvatrucha or m.s. thirteen that gang is traced back to its inception in california prisons in the one nine hundred eighty s. by central american born inmates who were then deported back to their country of origin these women and children risked life and limb in a treacherous journey through mexico that took several weeks only to be returned less than two months later count

mr. garcia will offer a bipartisan bill that will do just that. but instead of even allowing amendments on these controversial bills, including amendments that are extremely common sense, we have a closed process that as mr. van hollen pointed out, changes the very rules of the house in the name of preventing the president on focusing on deporting criminal aliens. look, republicans and democrats alike acknowledge there is a crisis on our southern border. unaccompanied minors are fleeing from el salvador, honduras, guatemala. i had the opportunity to visit the border the weekend before last along with many of my colleagues and got to speak to some of the kids as well as the customs and border patrol and h.h.s. officials and hear some of those stories firsthand. but instead of taking action -- and we had this discussion yesterday in rules committee -- action means a bill passing a bill, a bill passing the senate and the president signing it -- instead of taking action to address the crisis on our southern border, the house is considering a house-onl

mr. burden. >> deputy lorie garcia was among those who responded. >> there were a number of inmates around himwell and we weren't sure exactly how all that transpired. all we knew is that the inmate was calling for our aid, so if he's on the radio, then the deputy obviously does not have any control at that time. come to find out, the inmates had come to his aid. the other inmates took the inmate down and deputy moon was able to get back up on his feet, and if it wasn't for the inmates in that pod, that really cared about their deputy, deputy moon might not have been with us. it might have been a really, really bad day. and it happened so quickly, but by that time, we were all there, but it happens that fast. so, as much as we say that we have each other's support, it's nice to know that you've got a handful of them in orange that care. >> while the deputy who has since retired, might have been vulnerable working alone in the unit, the relationships he built under that system are what saved his life, and building those relationships is important to the former secret service agent who runs the

mr. garcia: as someone who grew up in miami, i recognize the value of students who don't yet speak english but are building a vibrant community together this bill has the support of a number of organizations, including the the t a., the nclr and national association of bilingual educators. i urge my colleagues to join me in strengthening english language education. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from florida seek recognition? without objection the gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> i rise in defense of israel and their defensive war against hamas. hamas is a terrorist organization, it's an arm of the muslim brotherhood, its reason for existence is to destroy israel and hamas desires a second holocaust though they won't actnology that the first happened. to uses human shields to protect from terror. they pulled out of the gaza strip, including uprooting more than 10,000 of their own zit sean -- sit certains from their homes 10 years ago. hamas has used the last decade to design a complex infrastructure, including tunnels designed to kill as many israeli
