Immigration Phones Use 7 Languages
Telephone hot lines have been set up in seven languages to assist undocumented residents who have questions about the new immigration laws, the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles announced.
Each of the lines offers information on amnesty, agricultural worker programs, employer sanctions and other general topics. Callers with specific questions can leave their names on the recording machines and legal aid workers will respond, officials said. The lines will operate around the clock.
The languages and their respective hot line numbers are Spanish, 252-3907; English, 252-3902; Chinese, 252-3912; Japanese, 252-3917; Korean, 252-3922; Vietnamese, 252-3927 and Tagalog 252-3932. All are in the 213 area code.
