Lawmakers should support programs that teach English, advocate says

Jefferson City, MO -- Grupo Latinoamericano President Yolanda Lorge wants Rep. Charlie Denison and others to know that immigrants do want to learn English -- and that a little bit of support would be appreciated.

Denison helped the bill move through the process, and now Lorge is asking him to also support programs that teach English.
