What Is The Language Barrier Of Immigration

Throughout the world, there is an estimate of about 65.3 million refugees that have either been forced out of their homes or chose to willingly escape the violence or corruption they faced in their homeland. Of those millions of people, only a small percentage are given the status of refugee as many nations have strict requirements and only allow a specific amount each year. This leads to an increase in the amount of illegal immigration as many are desperate to risk their lives to for a better one then they had back home. Even as refugees are given asylum, many often face difficulties such as discrimination due to the racial stereotypes that exist as a result of negative depictions in the news and media. Although nations have generally become more open to receiving and providing aid for a significant amount of refugees seeking asylum, people’s ideology of race and the misrepresentation of the media towards immigrants prevent an even larger amount of refugees from being accepted into society.

When relocating to a new country, a refugee must get used to a new culture while suppressing their own. Not to mention, they have to live knowing that they left their family and friends behind in a dangerous environment. They are stuck with the burden of not knowing whether or not their relatives are still alive. Having to live day after day with these weights on your shoulder would be a detriment to anyone’s emotional health. In the documentary, God Grew Tired of Us, John Dau, a Syrian refugee came to America where he was able to live in an apartment, get a job, and receive an education. He went from living outdoors with no idea of what tomorrow will bring, to living in an air conditioned apartment with a chance to build a future, yet Dau still wasn’t happy. He found himself missing his homeland and the friends and family he had left behind. Refugees face a multitude of emotional stress when starting their new lives, everything has changed for them and sometimes it can be too much to handle. Knowing they left vulnerable loved ones behind, while they get to start anew can make it hard to enjoy their chance at happiness. Along with the distress that comes with being on your own, the different customs and societal values can be difficult on a refugee. They may need to abandon old traditions or even hide a part of their identity that wouldn’t be seen as “normal” in their new location. A constant sense of loneliness along with living in a new area where you don’t quite fit in can be emotionally stressful for

Refugees started because of war and economic problems in their countries that force them out of their homes, and rob their children of having an educated life. Refugees tend to stay in refugee camps, but while staying in camps, they don’t have any job opportunities which makes it extremely hard to care for a family with zero income. In order to leave the camps for jobs, an education, and housing, their relatives have to get them and bring them to their country. All refugees that would like to leave the camp must have a visa.

I want a better life, please don’t kill me, I want a better life, please don’t torture me, I want a better life, but I might have to starve to have one. Wanting a better life consist of being killed, tortured, and having to starve. Immigrants face these things when wanting a better life. Immigrants face many obstacles that they must overcome in order to better their lives.

“No Habla English”. “21 million people living in the United States cannot speak English. Citizens are not just speaking Spanish, but Chinese and Russian are rising fast.” (U.S. Bureau of Census, 2009) To force a citizen to speak a new language is discrimination. Non-English speaking citizens and immigrants that are without good English skills will fall academically, in the judicial system and when receiving proper medical care.

Refugees are people who crossed borders, fleeing due to problems related to race religion and nationality. While fleeing, refugees unknowingly carry many diseases due to lack of mental help and attention. When coming to a new country, refugees have no self-esteem to get jobs due to the language barrier. Refugees who flee their country and sacrifice everything are confident and strong willed with all the obstacles that come through their journey to start a new life. The long-term effects that a refugee experiences due to forced migration is Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression. Forced migration has a negative mental and physical affect on refugees.

Intro: Refugees face a far worse life than most people can imagine, and there is no easy way out for them. They first must get out of whatever dangerous place they are in, then travel long distances with almost no resources, and even if they do make it safely to the USA there is a chance they will be sent back or even put in jail. The refugee experience is defined by risks and belonging.

foreign education. Often, when immigrants come to Canada, their degrees and qualifications are not recognized here in Canada because they were earned in other countries and also the language barriers does pose an obstacle to employment for immigrant and visible minority women. Around 16 per cent of immigrants, particularly refugees, come to Canada without knowledge of either official languages French and English (Saraswati, 2000).

In the reading, “The Immigrant Enclave: Theory and Empirical Examples,” Alejandro Portes and Robert D. Manning primarily discusses the process that immigrants go through as they go about adapting and integrating into their new society. As the reading states, often when immigrants migrate to new societies, it is either for economic reasons as a means of achieving a better life for themselves or that of seeking political asylum as political refugees. A real world example of an immigrant enclave today is that of the thousands of Syrian refugees who emigrated to the United States and other countries in an effort to flee the Syrian civil war. During the midst of the Syrian crisis, many Syrian refugees sought

With the influx of immigrants working for meatpacking companies it brings more problems because it creates a communication barrier and culture barrier. There is a disproportion of workers because many of the butchers and floor workers who work minimum wage jobs are from a Hispanic (Mexican) origin and others are minorities, while the managers and higher ups are Anglo Americans. Stull and Broadway state, "Anglo-Americans tend to lump Mexican Americans and immigrants from Mexico and elsewhere in Latin America into a single category-Hispanic-despite important cultural and linguistic differences between them" (147). This disproportion creates culture clashes because Anglo-Americans don't speak the language of the immigrant workers, so it leads

Furthermore, refugees will promote the economic development in some extent. Government should accept people because it isan

Refugee issue is a global issue mainly due to wars, conflicts or environmental, political, religious and racial reasons (Gibney & Gil, 2010). In recent years, the turmoil triggered by the "Arab Spring" in many countries in West Asia and North Africa causing numerous refugees, so it has once again attracted the attention of people（Grossman, 2017）. People forced to relocate their homes and even renounce their nationality by war or natural disasters are defined as refugee（UNHCR，2017）.The influx of refugees brings cheap labor forces reducing the cost of productions ,and causes the promotion of economic development. In addition, the increasing population leads to an increase in demand which can increase the income of the host countries and the state tax. It can be argued that refugees are unable to benefit the host nations because refugees increase unemployment rate and occupy resources in education. Although it may be true that there are some negative effects caused by refugees, refugees can benefit the host nation in terms of economy and social advancement.

Several literatures argue that a language barrier is a major problem when non-English speaking immigrants access health services in the UK. It is a common problem among Eastern Europeans and other immigrants, however the majority of the literature considers language barrier in relation to immigrants as a homogenous group. The following paragraphs will discuss the issue of language barrier for immigrants and then the specific applications of the issue for Eastern Europeans and consider recommendations to improve services for non-English speakers.

American society has developed as a result of continued waves of immigration. It therefore seems logical that Americans should have positive attitudes towards immigration. Immigration allows for sharing of ideas and cultures within society.

This paper discusses the effects of language in immigration rhetoric on the perception held by people about immigration. Different words presented to the public in different ways (positive or negative) imply their own meanings.
