Less than 2% of successful applicants to US Medical Schools are not US citizens or non permanent resident. Some of those, perhaps many are primary speakers of English. Many others speak English better than those born here. The data does not answer your question as to what undergraduate school these non citizens attended. Would University of Toronto, or McGill, or Oxford be a problem? How about Jamaica.. an English speaking country.
Tell us how you feel about a US citizen attending a non US undergraduate school then applying to a US medical school. Is that a problem for you? You asked about that situation as if it is one. It apparently is not for US medical schools as per the last report I found looking at that exact issue, a higher percentage of US citizens who attended school abroad were admitted to medical school than those that stayed in the USA.
