the second problem is who is considered high priority and low priority. there is a lot of discussion of people who are considered high priority. we work with people who have no criminal history. the first time they crossed they were caught at the border and deported. sometimes the second time they crossed and they were caught and deported. there are those who are charged rrereentry, and now they're considered criminals. not only my experiences once you're in the deportation proceedings you can't get off, but there are so many risks along the way of living as an undocumented immigrants that you could get caught in the net. >> we're going to take a break. when we come back we'll talk more about what deportation means and how it's proving problematic for many people and we'll talk about what the new rules are. hardly anybody can really explain them well. stay with us. this is inside story. >> welcome back to inside story. i'm ray suarez. immigration and deportation this time on the program. how the u.s. handles those in the process of being deported. how the

we are constantly working to balance these priorities. so how are we moving forward on these core priorities. as far as water enterprise, we are over 80 percent complete with our water system rebuild and we're on track to replace 15 miles of water mane every year. with the power enterprise we are focusing on our ageing assets. my priority is investing in our street lights to promote public safety. as far as a waste water enterprise we are on track to replace 145 place 15 miles of sewer every year and rebuild. the key is to rebuild the southeast treatment plant. there are a number of ways that we are working to preserve rate pair affordability while making capital improvements. we will see these reflected in our current two year budget, as well as up coming proposed for the next two years. first we have nearly a flat staffing so we minimize the increase of staff. we also -- we proposing a relatively flat operating budget with just the costs of inflation adjustments. our finance team has also been successful and lacking in some of the lowes

the priorities, there are three priorities. one is recent, illegal entrants and repeat immigration offenders. as the third is convicted criminals. the main reason it has produced differences as the border and within in the interior, they are not getting these guidelines. they are apprehended at the border. most everybody at the border is pipelines.e of these formally removed or face criminal charges or both. interior, many people bit identified through programs are not viewed as priorities. they are not getting put in a these tough type lines. this set of priorities and the tools for discretion have really play out very differently as of the border where naturally everybody gets apprehended as the book thrown at them. is -- this is our broad overview. i can talk a lot more. [no audio] [applause] >> is good to be following a mark. thank you for having me. i want to focus on border control. the ability to prevent illegal entry especially at the southern border with mexico. pretty much all of what i talk about comes out of the pip

we hope to identify the key assets restoration priorities and the region after such an earthquake and develop performance expectations under the current conditions and standards to strive for in the next decade and communication is critical and fuel is critical to our life line and utilities and roads right after that. we've focus the right now on the roads and vs access roads available and water, gas, electricity. i wanted to give you a success story from our life lines council and that is right now pg&e is proposing a embarcadero portearo transition line for redundancy. as you know we are fed by three groups off the peninsula and loss of a substation in san francisco could create much instability and affect reliability of the system. embarcadero currently supplying power from the mid-market substations and through those soils. repair could take eight hours to several weeks. maintaining the embarcadero station is critical to the san francisco downtown and waterfront region. the system of reliability was raised during the study interview with pg&e in november 2011 and pg&e followed up

there were also about seven or eight intersections where because of different transit priority changes, the intersection los would create the impact and those before you as well. during sponsor comments we received hundreds of comments on the document. the comment period on the draft eir was extended to allow additional time for public feedback. the response to comments is an extensive look and response to the feedback that we got. we also prepared a complimentary document because many of the issues raised were about project merit and not about environmental issues per say. so the tep community guide is intended to address some of that feedback. we also used a lot of the feedback we got during the draft eir to shape what we got on the proposal through january and march and were able to address many of the project issues raised in the eir during that period. as part of the environmental action, one of the things you will be asked to take is a statement of overriding consideration. what that essentially means in lay man's terms is that although the eir identified significant and unvoidab

the first priority is safety of course to respond to the vision program as well as the threshold needs we're seeing in pedestrian and bicycle facilities. our next look is at system management opportunities and manage the demand across the bay. utilize the network for more efficient modes of travel such as transit and walking and biking as well as freeway management strategies and refers to carpool lanes and how we might add to those on 101 and 280. in connc

people with disabilities so we believe free minnesota for seniors and people about disabilities is a priority that mta should work on. please consider and work >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> (calling names). >> good afternoon. >> good afternoon, everyone. i'm sherry will i and this is shiny we're from the community center. pedestrian safety is what we're demanding too often we hear that people get hit and die 6 people have died this year and 21 died from collisions were we don't want to see those numbers increasing. no one wants this to happen again prevention is important. it's not okay in san francisco we spend over $500,000 treating pedestrian accident and we could prevent this that i spending more for safety >> i see people crossing the streets and it's important for vehicle drivers and pedestrians to follow the rules and physical changes on the street can prevent folks from fighting over the same space speaker in order to do the education and improvement achieve the goal of vision zero more it needed and without the budget nothing can be done. it should be used in the most import

back to the root of vision zero it started in sweden it is the highest priority for our transportation system the racks we've heard we want to design a transportation system forgiveness our humanness and so there's not death we're really doing comprehensively at the various project like education and enforcement to help to create a system in san francisco that fundamentally protects life. we are also keenly attuned to protecting our most vulnerable road users and community. this map includes a lot of information including the high pedestrian corridors that is 6 percent of our streets and fatalities as well as the bicyclists high corridors which similarly identify 4 percent of our injuries our. those corridors overlap there are particular places their cyclists and pedestrians are injured. in conducting that analysis we see a higher progression of high injuries in community with low income population and non-english speaking population and distribute of color so where our most vulnerable folks live this is what the data points to safe lives >> i think the slide is small could you just go

wouldn't necessarily see this as priorities. at the senate bill a lot of them would potentially be eligible for legalization. there are challenges. you have got a fundamental dilemma. you have got to show serious credible enforcement to address republican concerns, but on the number are a fair people the democrats they got to be eligible for legalization. is it appropriate to be targeting this? are still real issues out there. >> i don't work with the data. i would agree with your assessment. is withould expect these people crossing the border, it's true people in the past went back and forth repeatedly. it was a way of life to cross repeatedly when the borders didn't mean much, when we treated the border as maybe a string of barb wire and everyone knew it was a joke. crossing reputedly had one moral significance. once you start to say, we are going to apprehend you and put you in the records and call it a crime and prosecute you criminally and you keep doing it over and over it has a different moral significance. it's one thing

so let me just mention that the priorities that dhs has identified, there's three priorities. one is recent illegal entrance including people crossing the border, another one is repeat immigration offenders, people who get formally removed and reenter, and the third one is convicted criminals. so the reason -- you know, the main reason this that is produced such different systems at the border and within the interior, at the border by definition, virtually everybody who's apprehended falls into a priority category because they're all recent illegal entrants because they're apprehended at the border. so almost everybody at the border gets put into one of these high consequence enforcement pipelines. they get formally removed or face criminal charges or both. in the interior, many of the seem who get identified through programs like secure communities are not viewed as enforcement priorities, and they are not getting put into these tough consequence pipelines. so this set of priorities and these tools for prosecutorial discretion have really played out very differently at the bo

obviously, we have discussed we have other priorities here those do relate to the important programs and kids in the city often we speak out directly related to funding are not thrsz that's an important thing i guess i want more information this is my relating brief commits it's all relative i want to know about the further conversation what it would look like in terms of of language because it's one thing to support i will do personally a lot of those goals we've set forward and in trusting our staff to moved on those but in terms of choices we've made around language and detail and trade offices i want to know more about those choices >> thank you. commissioner mendoza-mcdonnell >> thank you. i just wanted to comment on the pieces that came up. on the sense i think that i'd like i think sunset is a good thing because it's the best practice those practice even with the last ten years we've had with the case and children's fund where it gives us an opportunity to revamp and tweak and again, it's the best practice again, i'd like to see the sunset obey extended so 25, thirty years ver

to my mind those are the highest priority. my personal highest priority is to see that happen. and i think the next one would be service increases. that's across the board to benefit everybody. but to my mind, the needs of the low-income persons with disabilities and seniors comes first in this case. there are two other proposals in there, the fleet cleaning additions which is great and needed, but i think that could be low priority. and also the recommendation on eliminating surcharges on payments [speaker not understood]. that to my mind is the least important of these to deal with. and, so, i'm asking for staff -- i'm suggesting we ask the staff, none of us has any authority outside the board as a whole -- establish free muni for youth as a permanent program and redefine youth to include 18 year olds effective january. we have a motion on that one coming up here shortly. but to do that, how we can do it, to make the people in the pilot it ha been successful. [speaker not understood] we ought to be proud of it for sure. in addition i'd like to ask that we extend the premium t

to do this we're do not on our policy passersby to reinforce those priorities to help us address the fund needs we're going to identify to achieve those goals and we need our stockholders and communities to inform and again provide accountability and help to support the vision zero. today, we're going to be talking about engineering and this is including the city vision including the product delivery and as well as the legislation update at the state level and other items for cyclist safety and evaluation data and funding. thank you >> thank you. i know that today enforcement is not on our agenda but i thought i'd ask the question on the slide on enforcement committee sfmta has taken on their focus on the top 5 enforcement issues that we know cause pedestrian safety and their goals in terms of ticketing, etc. we've been seeing the results of the data i'm curious i'm not sure if the best person to answer this is but i'm curious what the sfmta role is around improvement and their goals. >> i'm happy to speak - with respect to the co- leadership of this combe subcommittee we've talked a

our priority has always been saving the day. because our priority... amazing! ...is you!mazing spider-man 2 delivered by the united states postal service. and it feels like your lifeate revolves around your symptoms, ask your gastroenterologist about humira adalimumab. humira has been proven to work for adults who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease. in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief, and many achieved remission. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal events, such as infections, lymphoma, or other types of cancer, have happened. blood, liver and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure have occurred. before starting humira, your doctor should test you for tb. ask your doctor if you live in or have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have symptoms su

it's not just about our priorities, it's about the clear contrast of our priorities compared to the republican congressional budget. >> [indiscernible] what about the risk of losing the independent voters? they hit the target despite the very rocky early rollout. the issue to look at in the days ahead is where premiums fall. if you look at health care costs since the affordable care act was enacted, you actually see a reduction, a significant reduction, in the per capita increase in health care costs. i'm not saying that is all due to the affordable care act. it is one factor but the reality is that today we are seeing much in per capitas health care spending so that is good news. it is good news for people's premiums and their out-of-pocket expenditures in private insurance and medicare and medicaid. let me ask you two questions. the debate between the two hearties the last couple of years is largely centered around how fast we can move to reduce the deficit. there are an increasing number of economists who have been arguing that what we need to do is increase the deficit, that the economy is

i've been through priority a, priority b, we're doing this, i mean, i've been through these kinds ofappropriate determinations by the political leadership of the department, looking at the situation that they confront, the needs of the nation at that time to make appropriate determinations as to how the limited resources of the department would be employed. >> in individual cases. >> no. >> it's an interesting question. >> i want to open an avid dispute with you just a little bit. you just described what we call selective prosecution. the attorneys everywhere in the world decide which cases they're going to ask to go before a court as a priority. and you call that prosecutorial discretion, i disagree with that definition. and in fact, judges and prosecutors, when it happens and they get accused of refusal to prosecute certain categories of crime, they get accused of abuse of discretion. judges get brought before the certain internal governing bodies on the issue of abuse of discretion and prosecutors do, too. there is quite a difference between the individual category of prosecutoria

. >> this is a priority for us. our budget has $42 million spread among the criminal division, the fbi, the office of justice programs, and u.s. attorneys offices. and this represents a 7.7% increase over fiscal year 2013 levels. we really increased our enforcement efforts, not only to safeguard the economic growth and well being of our country, but also to protect public health and safety, which is also, i think people have to understand, that this intellectual property theft and the distribution of substandard parts or in medicines has the ability to have a negative impact on public health and safety. we have an intellectual property task force in the department that's chaired by the deputy attorney general. where we try to is come up with a coordinated high level approach to figure out how to investigate these crimes. we also work with the white house office of property enforcement coordinator, and we have -- there's a government wide strategy that was published in february of 2013, we had made the investigation

the first priority is safety of course to respond to the vision program as well as the threshold needsing in pedestrian and bicycle facilities. our next look is at system management opportunities and manage the demand across the bay. utilize the network for more efficient modes of travel such as transit and walking and biking as well as freeway management strategies and refers to carpool lanes and how we might add to those on 101 and 280. in conjunction with other counties doing the same. san mateo is also looking at this so there would be a coordinated facility all the way from san francisco to san jose. finally capacity. i can't tell you how many meetings we're at that this came up in the last months, the capacity of the network, the transit network, in particular a major need in face of all the existing crowding we have as well as the new development going up in the city. this is something that i know director reiskin and other transit leads are aware of and working electric ifz and increase capacity and working on the caltrans project with sfmta and add capacity and improved perfor

budgets are about priorities. and the budgets of previous congresses and previous presidents have run up a debt the size of which, servicing even at these lower teaser interest rates in american history, will suck out 18 months of productivity over the next 10 years. i do not question my friends' commitment to the snap program. but understand that decision cans of the past -- decisions of the past, paying the interest alone require the snap program be closed completely for 18 months. i do not credit my friends' commitment to national security. but the budgets and the priorities of past congresses have barred us into such a state that paying interest alone would require us to close our military for 18 months over the next 10 years. we could not agree more that this budget week is about choices and priorities and i tell you the choices and priorities of past congresses and past presidents are trading away hope for the next generation of americans. they are trading away opportunities to serve americans who need to be

. >> what is it a priority to cite those buses how does that happen. >> it's not a priority as the gentleman said we have i can't any public comment? speak to the police department but we have priorities for the police department this is not one of them, no distribution to prioritize this particular mode embodiment >> the why wouldn't sites with respect to that not be a priority. >> we've received complaints we do enforce based on the complaints around the traffic improvement that's complaint based i accept those numbers come from the sfmta i don't think we have good understanding looking at the data but it's exactly the ad hoc nature of enforcement that we acknowledge is not meeting the muni riders which is the reason for the pilot. >> i know i have comments so i want to have a final question for mr. rose. of the 13 thousand citations who received those citations do you have a sense of who those were issued to >> supervisor campos i would say from the information most of them are to private vehicles. >> the residents? >> residents or anybody driving in san francisco that's illegal stopping

we need to make it a higher priority this is not the actions to bathtub u ball park our words preventing deaths and injuries. it's ridiculous that we're spending lessen bicycle improvements than paper. it's some kind of joke by just because it's april fool's day i guess it doesn't mean it's a joke. i'd like to see some other source of funding. i'd like to see the fund come from somewhere it's something that you can figure out. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> (calling names) >> good afternoon. >> hi, thank you for your patience. yeah. i wanted to request again support with funding and reexplanation of the funding for zero and the emphasis that it's for the protection of everybody. more particularly my focus is on possible street i see 1942 problematic to our best tensions and that's a very focal high monitoring has hi, yacked the practices in the city without reiterating the facts i'd like to say it's better than for sure than if those people would have gotten their way one hundred percent we week call the gap in the middle of the street that reflects those people have b

priority means if the vehicle is approaching a green light it will get priority whereas preemption is a step up above that. not only it holds everything in place as the vehicle is coming it stops everything else and gives preemption to the train, so any other signal you may have -- say if you have a traffic signal it would be downgraded and the train would preempt it so it's just for us it should be able to give us when you look at the length of r from sunnydale say to carol and give us more and we will evaluate and come back to you on this. >> do you have an estimate of what it will be? >> the engineers are estimating it should be from the trunk from sunnydale up to cal train five to seven minutes with all of these in place which would be significant. >> and when do you plan to put this in place? >> it is in place. we're in the process of measuring it, its effectiveness right now. it's been turned on for about three weeks. >> that's good to hear and i was under the impression it was in place so i'm glad you confirmed that. >> absolutely. we will get back to you on that. >> and mr. ha

my goals for the hearing are three priorities. ofmunity security, in terms state and local. of course national security, and then oversight and accountability in terms of spending dollars wisely. to uphold the rule of law, protect civil liberties and communities. there's a request in here for $2.2 billion for state and local government that puts cops on the beat, puts away child abusers, processes rape kits, all those at the local level. we will be getting your views and insights about how those partnerships are working, and once of the funding process we can actually strengthen them to get better results and better enforcement. we also want to know that that thin blue line and the local community that protects us, like our local police officers, have equipment that they need. we also want to take a look at the issues related to our prisons. we know that you are leading a review on appropriate sentencing and how we can reduce the prison population without increasing risk to our communities. you have looked at everything from compassionate parole for those prisoners that are

and the program and i know that is discussed in the plans and programs and it has been a priority and so we can make sure that our vehicles are reliable in providing service and then, of course, our facility needs are extreme and even in the five year cip we are not able to meet all of the need but we are doing our best to replace and modernize the facilities and the streets, of course, walk first and the vision zero and moving forward and then i know, plans and programs, and then the transportation authority, and the cec has been asking about our backlog in traffic calming projects and we are proposing in the five year cip to clear the backlog and fully fund all of the projects that are outstanding and of course, the travel time and reliability and things like the tep and funding portions of market street over the next five years and working towards expanding the fleet for the roads that are going to be happening in san francisco. >> you are funding them and we want to know that you have the capability and ability to do all of that and so a couple of things that we did in the prior c

local and limited can pass one another and the time reduction of the proposal are the tep transit priority projects. the project was approved at various levels. the documents were cleared at the programmatic programmatic level. the programmatic was extensive. anything that was created in the document were with the additional environmental work on the programmatic corridors, we can draw from the larger analysis that has already happened. the clearance was done for the 17 of the corridors. we elevated three programmatic corridors last month because we were able to work with the community to refine those proposals and we wanted an opportunity for them to be considered as part of the mayor's task workforce as well as the service improvements in the service related capital also cleared at the project level. in addition to the no project which the eir considered we also looked at two alternatives. we looked at a model alternative and enhanced alternative for many of the travel time of the reduction proposal. that is intended to provide choices for decision makers as well as the community as we g

it helps to focus priorities on those cases that really need to have that priority. of course, the whole issue of priorities and making sure that certain people don't, or are not prioritized for removal received -- reached a high point with the deferred action for graham the president announced for individuals who may be qualified under the dream act. childrenought here as and to have remained here ever since. two-yearam had a period where deportations were suspended. it is coming up for renewal this summer. we will see what the administration does with that. reviewsident ordered a of current enforcement programs to see if they could be done furtheranely and with attention to prioritization and maybe a ship there. so, dhs is conducting that review there and we will see what that results in. finally, let me list some justice department initiatives that i think could bear some fruit. we will go a lot to issues of fairness and due process. number one, we are trying to move forward and have moved forward on innovative counsel programs for proceedings that are the attaine

where does this rank in our priorities? what sacrifices are we prepared to make as a country in order to see these goals achieved in the ukraine? or our leaders prepared to ask us to do in order to advance the cause of democracy and freedom in ukraine. and then finally, we need to take a hard look at the question of ukraine. where is ukraine at this point? well, it has been strengthening of the past few weeks. how quickly the government in ukraine disappeared. the lack of authority. a country that we thought was unified is beginning to break down into its constituent parts. the debate over what ukraine is is one that the ukrainians need to have and have not had the answer to yet. will we need to do with russia, i think, is to take the space in which the ukrainians and have that debate in a productive way. in order to do that the united states needs to combine not only resistance to what the russians of up to the spot. to some extent find a way to accommodate there interests of that the ukrainians themselves will have a more

our majority in the house has made your priorities are priorities. every week we are focused on patching initiatives that would make it easier to find a create jobs and places just like this. we are ready to improve the so workers can improve skills, expand american-made energy to smaller costs. repeal and replace obamacare. he wantedent said this to be a year of bipartisan action. it still can be. we just need to get his party leaders in the senate to take of the jobs bills. by republicans may be the minority party, we have made some headway. we have band earmark's. for the first time since the --ean war, we have caught cut federal spending for two years running. we protected 99% from permanent tax increases. we have passed the free trade agreement that were rd paying big dividends. imagine what we could do it the powers that be in washington change course. areine it faced top trading con me like a second language in putting jobs first. last week i spotted one of the plan inrs on a military afghanistan. i cannot tell you how proud i was of every wor
