plenty of oppurtunities? im sure some do. but most people i know that have moved to america to work dont really have much time to learn anything when they are working 70+ hours a week to get by. Yeah, they do learn enough english to live, but the older you get, the harder it will be to learn that language.
Having people who can speak different languages is a huge benefit. lets say when you move to japan, so far you could only be fluent with the basics of the language. you have trouble with some credit cards(we'll use your example) and your poor japanese is stopping you from solving your problem. you'll be wanting a multi-lingual service then wouldnt you?

and people who cant get jobs because they arent bilingual? dats just ridiculous. ever think that the area of that specific workplace could be of a latin majority? so having someone who doesnt speak spanish try to sell/buy/inform to someone else who can only speak spanish fluently just doesnt make sense, and it doesnt make money.
dont be so freakin close minded, jeez
