People shouldn't be forced to speak english. As mingusfingers said, it's only hurting themselves.

That being said, I do, however, think that employers shouldn't hire people that can't do their job properly because they can't speak english. When I go to order food and can't communicate with the person taking my order because they can't speak english.. well, that just shouldn't be. The person should speak the language well enough to be able to do their job properly. There are plenty of jobs out there that don't require them to communicate directly with the customers.

People should make somewhat of an effort to learn the language of the country. Although, I won't be surprised to see Spanish becoming our country's second national language.
