Immigrants’ problem: inferior-class immigrants suffer from “language barrier”
Recently, immigration has been raise as a global issue owing to the military problem of the Syrian Republic. Many people escape from their own country to Europe, United States or Australia for survival. However, some of them even cannot even use the local language to interact with natives, just as numerous other inferior-class immigrants. These inferior-class immigrants, at least in America, are mostly unable to speak the native language; however, not only these immigrants but also the society suffers from this condition, which leads a need for both side to break the “language barrier”.

However, in the interview with Ryan Holeywell, Director of Latino Affairs in Indianapolis, Carlos May, believes that the immigrants shouldn’t be underappreciated. “It’s a population that can’t be ignored… We want them to feel included, it’s going to affect us economically.” Immigrants’ enormous amount of population can greatly affect local economy, culture, politics and development, thus, “language barrier” can cause some sort loss on the both side instead of only on immigrants’ side. According to Andrey Singer, the senior fellow at the Brookings Metropolitan Policy Program, immigrants are increasingly participate in labor market: “Immigrants are a growing part of the labor force (people with a job or looking for one), and in 2010 there were 23.1 million foreign-born persons in the civilian labor force, making up 16.4 percent of the total. As the foreign-born population has grown as a share of the total population, they have grown disproportionately as a share of the labor force. In 1970, immigrants made up approximately 5 percent of the population and 5 percent of the labor force. As Figure 1 shows, their growth in the labor force began to outstrip their population growth by 1990, widening the gap between the two. By 2010, immigrants were 16 percent of the labor force, but only 13 percent of the total …show more content…
However, if the language barrier still happens, a big fraction of the economic system might get hurt. Thus the government and immigrants, both sides should work together, to diminish the language barrier between both sides.
Conclusion
As the world is becoming more and more international, immigrants from all the countries immigrate to other countries. Their enormous amount means that we couldn’t ignore their existence. Inferior-class immigrants are mostly not good at native language but only provide labor for survival, which isn’t a good signal for the society even they are the inferior part of immigrants. This “language barrier” blocks immigrants from fitting into the circumstance, especially immigrants with low native language ability and eventually damage both side mentally and physically.
