Then we must first start of by removing English from government documentation and services since the introduction of English was by Immigrants. i.e Europeans are not native to this land and aren't even Immigrants they are Colonisers.

No argument. Should be in language one understands so multilingual is necessary for people to fill in documents with correct understanding
An English speaking person immigrating from New Zealand to Europe would not expect that they are forced to assimilate themselves; much of their population already speaks English or has resources in place to support English speakers. Being against non-English speaking immigrants is a class of xenophobia almost exclusively extended to people of colour and associated with a fear of the unknown; if we allowed them resources to live here comfortably and maintain their culture we may expect that overtime their understanding of English would improve regardless, without them feeling isolated.
I think that multilingual translations are needed. You can’t expect someone to learn English just to read a document, it would put stress on immigrants who need to get out of a situation. We have English classes in New Zealand and I think some people are very pressed about this situation when they shouldn’t be. Plus in other countries they have multiple languages on their documents so why can’t we.
