. >> ms. chu: thank you, mr. thomas. >> mr.hughes: as a liaison from the committee to this bond, i met with mr. thomas and his staff on april 16 of this year. and without belaboring this too much, i'll just run through some of the things that we touched on at that time. on road repaving and street safety bond -- first of all i want to preface it with you have either reached the goals that were set out at the time of the ballot measure or exceeded on those complete. and those that are pending, are pending completion are very close to the original anticipated goals that were met. so on road repaving the street savings bond, you were at 95% of the goals had been reached as of that time. and it is currently projected that you will meet or exceed the original goals set out at the time of passage. so, thank you. and to your staff. outstanding. on the pci, the metropolitan transportation commission's revised pci scores, there was a change in the way that was determined. and that resulted in new score. and we understand that the old sc

. >> ms. chu: mr. bush? >> mr. bush: i had an opportunity to talk to kate hard hartley, she was very informative. i think -- a minute or two, to put context into the housing bond. because the housing bond is a little different than the bonds we have. on the others we have the city doing the construction and this one, it's not the city. what happened in many bonds is that there is not as much specificity as you expect, which makes it harder to evaluate, that people are getting what they thought they were getting. that can be advantage in how we spend the money and it can be a concern for people in the community. for example, if you thought a park was coming in by you and it's not going to come in by you, you don't know for sure why that is. what i want to make clear is the that the city is not gaining the bond, it's not playingolit with it. there a dreevelopments that require the city to be more nimble in how its spending money. some of the ones that need to be acknowledged is the north bay wildfires, that destroyed

ms. chu: and now i yield to the gentlelady from oregon, ms. bonamici. ms. bonamici: thank you for yielding. i spent the day before father's day at the federal prison in oregon meeting with 123 asylum-seeking immigrant men who are incarcerated in prison. they were fleeing horrific violence and religious persecution. they were christian and sikh men from india. here was an lgq man from honduras and another was targeted by gangs and we spoke with men who are separated from their wives and children and who on father's day had no idea where this were or how they were. criminalizing asylum-seekers and separating families is cruel and it's appalling and now we find out there are tender age shelters. babies don't need their own jail. they need their own parents. this must stop. the president and the department of justice could stop it right now. the american academy of pediatrics said separating families in this way causes irreparable harm. mistreating children for political leverage is outside of moral bounds, even for this administration. as a mother, it breaks m

ms. chu. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman is recognized for one minute. ms. chu: i rise in strong opposition to this cruel and -- cruel anti-immigrant bill this bill is so bad they want to destroy legal immigration to this country. for decades, our immigration laws were discriminatory, favoring nor dick and western europeans, restricting italians and jews, and banning the chinese completely. finally in 1965, during the civil rights era, senator ted kennedy ushered in a fairer immigration system based on family reunification. because this system brings families together, immigrant households are less likely to rely on public benefits and imgrants are often buying homes and starting businesses at a faster rate. now with this bill republicans are trying to undo that process and make america white again. worse, they are tearing families apart to do this while trump and republicans are ripping parents from children at the border, they're trying to do the same through our immigration laws.
