Are English skills one of the best competitive advantages against recent immigrants, outsourcing, and automation in the era of globalization?

As a disclaimer, I am a non-native English speaker at the high-beginner to intermediate level, so there might be points that can cause some misunderstanding. I am working on being able to articulate my points in a clearer manner, and this post can serve as practice.

To clarify, by recent immigrants, I mean Green Card holders. Globalization has many companies in the U.S. outsourcing their jobs to people in foreign countries. For the most part, the jobs that are outsourced are ones that can be done relatively easily. For example, I have read that there are accounting firms that have outsourced positions to countries like India. According to my reading, the simple data entry work was done well, but the documentation was awful. It stands to reason that having exceptional English writing skills will set someone apart in the job market even if they have a low GPA.

From my intensive conversations with career professionals, companies typically have a predilection for people with very high GPAs and strong communication skills. Most immigrants have the first part covered, but the communication aspect is sorely lacking from a writing standpoint.

Domestically, there are immigrants in the U.S. who are seeking jobs and have been relatively successful. They are often hard workers and have exceptional GPAs. What they lack, however, are good English communication skills. To put it simply, they have decent verbal abilities, but their writing skills are subpar.

Now, this isn't a xenophobic diatribe on immigrants, but this is merely a question and an observation. I have nothing but adoration for their strong work ethics, and as an immigrant myself, I can relate to their struggles. As such, I am trying to write this out in a deferential tone while getting my point across effectively.

In conclusion, globalization and automation have made certain skill set invaluable. English writing skills tend to be the skill set that most native U.S. citizens have over foreigners. As a result, do you think it is imperative to bolster one's English writing skills to compete with immigrants and automation?

Again, feel free to lambast my writing. Though, maybe not as harsh as Gordon Ramsay's food critiques. My goal here is to learn to write better.
