Justice Minister Han Dong-hoon warned, Wednesday, that Korea could disappear from the map unless the nation implements effective immigration policies, and called for parliamentary support for his ministry's push to launch a new government agency handling immigration affairs.
수요일 한동훈 법무부 장관은 효율적인 이민 정책을 도입하지 않으면 한국이 지구 상에서 사라질 수도 있다며 이민을 관리하는 신설 기구를 출범시키려는 법무부에 대한 국회의 지원을 촉구했다.

 

disappear = vanish = fade = die out 사라지다

immigrant (다른 나라로 온) 이민자, 이주자

emigrant (다른 나라로 가는) 이민자, 이주민

warn = caution = give a warning 경고하다, 경고를 주다

immigration policy 이민 정책

call for = demand = request 요청하다, 요구하다

immigration affairs 이민 업무

 


"When it comes to immigration policies, we have passed the stage of deliberating whether to implement them or not. Because if we don't, we cannot escape the fate of extinction due to the demographic catastrophe," Han said during a meeting with lawmakers of the ruling People Power Party (PPP) at the National Assembly in Seoul.
한 장관은 서울 국회에서 열린 국민의힘 정책의원총회에서 “이민 정책은 할 거냐 말 거냐 고민할 단계를 지났다. 안 하면 인구재앙으로 인한 국가 소멸의 운명을 피할 수 없다”고 말했다.

 

when it comes to = in terms of = in regard to = as to = as for = in respect to ~에 관해서, ~에 관련하여

immigration policy 이민 정책

pass the stage of ~의 단계를 지나다

deliberate = contemplate = mull over = meditate = consider = ponder over = think carefully = think over = muse over = chew over = go over and over = dwell on = 숙고하다, 고심하다, 곰곰히 생각하다 

cannot escape the fate of ~의 운명을 피할 수 없다

pandemonium = chaos = turmoil = mess = fuss = madhouse = bedlam = commotion = confusion = stir = uproar = clamor = to-do = distrubance = ruckus  대혼란, 야단법석, 아수라장

 


However, Han made it clear that the envisioned launch of the immigration agency does not mean that the government will carry out entirely foreigner-friendly measures.
그러나 한 장관은 이민청 신설 구상은 정부가 외국인 친화적인 정책을 시행한다는 의미가 아니라는 점을 분명히 했다.

 

make it clear that ~을 확실히 하다

envisioned = envisaged 구상중에 있는, 구상하고 있는

carry out = implement = enforce = bring in = introduce = come into force = impose 수행하다, 시행하다, 도입하다

foreigner-friendly measures 외국인 친화적인 정책

 


Rather, the administration seeks to take a selective stance in accepting foreign nationals and establish what he called a "stronger grip" on those who are overstaying their visas.
오히려 정부는 필요한 외국인만 정부가 판단해 받아들이고, 불법 체류자를 더 강력히 단속하는 등 ‘그립’을 더 강하게 잡겠다고 말했다.

 

take a selective stance 선택적인 자세를 취하다

stronger trip 스트롱 그립

overstay one's visa ~의 비자보다 오래 머물다

 


"The policies we aim to pursue are not about simply accepting a large number of foreigners. Instead, we will accept only foreign nationals who meet our needs based on thorough assessments, while strengthening crackdowns on undocumented migrants," he said.
한 장관은 “추진하려는 이민정책은 외국인을 무조건 많이 받자는 게 아니다. 대신 필요한 외국인만 정교히 판단해 받아들이고, 불법 체류자를 더 강력히 단속하자는 것”이라고 전했다.

 

pursue = seek 찾다, 구하다

a large number of = many = a lot of = lots of = a host of = a multitude of 다수의, 많은

meet the needs 요구를 충족시키다

thorough assessments 절처한 평가, 정교한 판단

thorough = thoroughgoing = complete = in-depth = exhaustive = complete =  meticulous = fastidious 철저한, 꼼꼼한

crackdown on = clampdown on ~에 대한 강력탄압, ~에 대한 엄중단속

undocumented migrant = illegal alient = illegal migrant worker = illegal sojourner 불법체류자 

 


The minister stressed that the purpose of the immigration agency is to realize the practical interests of the nation and its people, and not to introduce diverse cultures based on humanitarian purposes.
그는 이민청은 인도주의나 다양한 문화유입 목적이 아니라 국가와 국민의 현실적 이익 실현을 목적으로 한다고 강조했다.

immigration agency 출입국 관리국

interests of the nation = interests of the state 국가의 이익, 국익

humanitarian purpose 인도주주의적 목적
