Many immigrants already speak some English ,those that don't get provided an interpreter so that authorities can convey instruction to them .Most immigrants do learn to speak the language enough to get them by for their own convenience which is usually what English people do when abroad .Some of the elderly generation of immigrants don't learn our language or find it difficult to grasp such a complicated language at their time of life but they will eventually die out and be replaced by immigrants of a younger generation complete with yorkshire,geordie,scouse accents leaving us only those new immigrants that have recently entered the country to supply interpreters for ,exactly the same as if you went to a foreign country and didn't speak the language but needed help .

I read your OP and wonder if you have a grasp of the English language
