Manuel Enrique Angel, 28, of El Salvador, poses in Houston Wednesday, Dec. 4, 2013. Angel made learning English his first priority upon arriving in Houston from his native El Salvador two years ago. He now speaks English clearly and deliberately and plans to apply for citizenship as soon as he becomes eligible later this year. He estimates it will take him up to eight months to save the money for the citizenship application. (AP Photo/David J. Phillip)
