Well.............no.

The purpose of having legal immigrants, who will probably spend their entire lives in America, speak English is so they can hold jobs and assimilate. Otherwise, they might be headed for the welfare rolls.

And, as one who has traveled all around the world (over 20 countries) either while working or for personal pleasure, I can assure you that English is the lingua franca throughout the world.

This is evidenced by the fact that in all international commercial flights the contacts between the pilots and the control towers must be in English even if the pilots and tower operators are native speakers of another language that they have in common.
