I say if you can't speak the language of the country as it was originally founded upon you shouldn't be allowed in.

Honestly, and this could be my area of Jersey, but I've never, and I mean never, had to speak spanish to do any of those activities mentioned. I think some people (not targeting you here, saying in general) just get a bit overzealous about culture and language. Every second generation Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, etc., person that I know speaks fluent English, and many also speak fluent Spanish. I think not speaking English hinders those unable to speak it more then the rest of the country. My 2 cents right there.
