5:51 am
immigration says we are going to deport you and they don't know the laws, so then there is a rush to try to get for a loolks who did not do that before, are now doing that. a lot of other services like the san francisco o.c.a., the office of civi engagement, all the collaborative effort is to better serve the san francis y.co i want to share with you why it's so complicated, so, government has greater access to petitioners and record electronically, and more scrutiny on the clients, on the background, more time for attorneys to potentially address the issues, because of , haveto doe ed information act, research and background. there are a lot more increase in refusing or denying disability waiver for our adults, elder, and rsequire more detail. the failure to more complex case, with ore s ple cases areea,
5:52 am
but complex are really hard when you are having seniors afraid, trying to track the record, means a lot more work and if you do it wrong, it means deportation. so, we can't have that here. so i wanted to share with you e breadth and the fro line and we also work with a members ofural collaborative to better strengthen san francisco's representation to the seniors. thank you. >> president serina: thank you. any other comments or questions from the public? >> iust j want to thank you for raising those points because as we approach the census, because the data is beg taken online, every concern you mentioned is being lifted up there, and we thosere g toingerwar to fy, but thank you fora those points. >> president serina: thank you. any other comments or questions from the public? hearing none, call the question. all in favor? any opposed? thank you, the motion carries. item g.
