However, if a U.S. citizen who does not speak English needs a federal document to be translated, it should be translated in their language for that person to understand the document. The government should also allow free English classes for non-English speaking citizens, so that they may have the knowledge to understand basic English literature.

Both Wes’s got suspended through the school-to-prison pipeline which Elias, from the “School-to-Prison Pipeline,” by Marilyn Elias, illustrates that minority students and students with disabilities are more likely to end up incarcerated through the school-to-prison pipeline. “They are policies that encourage police presence at schools, harsh tactics including physical restraint, and automatic punishments that result in suspensions and out-of-class time are huge contributions to the pipeline” (Elias 2).

Very few, if any, immigrants have the chance to learn English before traveling to the U.S. Because of this barrier, it is nearly impossible for organizations such as the Border Patrol to warn, aid, and communicate with them as they travel to the U.S. Although there are helpful signs along the border, they are written in English and are therefore indecipherable. Furthermore, the language border hinders an immigrant’s ability to survive in American society once they arrive. English is the written and spoken language in almost every city, thwarting immigrants’ opportunity to find jobs and interact with others. As they struggle to communicate, they become ostracized and do not fit in.

But even when they didn’t learn English themselves, their children grew up speaking it. Thousands of first-generation Americans still strive to learn English, but others face reduced educational and career opportunities because they have not mastered this basic skill they need to get ahead. According to the 1990 census, 40 percent of the Hispanics born in the United States do not graduate from high school, and the Department of Education says that a lack of proficiency in English is an important factor in the drop-out rate. People and agencies that favor providing services only in foreign languages want to help people who do not speak English, but they may be doing these people a disservice by condemning them to a linguistic ghetto from which they cannot easily escape.

Simply understanding or writing basic English is not enough to catalyze social change or awareness; many immigrants and minorities are mute in this respect. Like a mute person, they are aware of everything going on around them, but they themselves are helpless to comment on it or initiate change because they cannot communicate. For example, Malcolm X, a once illiterate black man, educated himself on how to read and write effective English. This, coupled with work ethic, transformed him into one of the most famous, nationally recognizable Civil Rights activists of his time period. X himself believed that “the best thing [he] could do was get hold of a dictionary – to study, to learn some words” (X xxx).
