Shifts out of the first world war, before the war you had a Mass Immigration into the United States, and it peaks in 1913 or 1914. In the early 1920s, the United States decides swing the gates shut and keeps them shut for about 60 years. There is a quota system put in place, a heavily discriminatory system that favors people from western europe, and tried to restrict people from other parts of the world. Did the schenck case in particular influence immigration restriction, i think that might be a direct connection that we cant make. But i do think the perception of radicals as being threatening and coming from other parts of the world really matters. One of the Big Questions that does come out of the war years is, what is the difference between being a citizen and being an immigrant . Do noncitizens actually had the same rights as american citizens when it comes to free speech, and when it comes to a whole host of other rights restricted during the war . That is a very powerful debate,

Antwan was there with breaking breaking news a scare at trump towers police was going to call about a suspicious white powder found at the building.

Seems most painful when you look at the fact that standards of living are not growing as rapidly as we would like. In the near term, we had had an looking forward for a little while Job Opportunities hasnt been as available as we would like. Incomes havent been growing rapidly. Our society continues having growing standards of living to which we all aspire, youre going to have to make sure that as many of our population as possible are going to have skills that are necessary to advance in the workforce. That raises issues all the way from preschool education where we are relative to some of our competitors around the world. Just in terms of access all the way through the quality of education going through secondary school and into college where interestingly the u. S. Population overall continues to be doing relatively well with respect to post secondary attainment in comparison with other countries. That cause people like me, older people who have degrees the rate of which we are diff
Protective services. The truth is they are adults and they have the right to make bad decisions. When would you lose that right and when would an Involuntary Service happen. Its not a clear cut line, but we would consider a conservatorship for an individual in the event that the individual clearly lacks capacity. And additionally when i say lacks capacity what im saying is they lack capacity to make medical decision or Financial Decisions for themselves and thats because of dementia or a Severe Mental Health diagnosis. We might look at Involuntary Services if the capacity issue is there and if there are significant safety risk to the client. With the clients that are being abused sometimes the safety issue is more apparent. Where they have already shown that they are not able to deal with the risk and it would be very appropriate to safe guard finances. In terms of neglect, its someone who clearly can manage their medical care, clearly cannot manage their own really basic necessities.
Program director of Adult Protective Services. We have a program that is housed within the department of aging and adult services. We are a part of the Human Services agency. Thank you very much councilmembers for the invitation. My understanding is that Adult Protective Services has not addressed the council in some time, although other dos programs have been here. So i was planning on doing a brief overview of Adult Protective Services just to make sure we had a foundation of what the program our framework of basic services are before i delve into the self neglect piece. I know you have questions, please interrupt me and ask questions. I want to be able to provide you with real targeted information. Before i start i want to make sure that the council and the public was aware that the Homeless Population in San Francisco is not the target population for Adult Protective Services per say. That is not to say that we do not provide services to Homeless Individuals, but it is by far the r
