Your not going to cost your business or personal finances more, just because they can't speak english.
So if you want it for cheaper, IT IS your problem.

That's the worst defense I have seen you come up with to date.

I never understood why people care so much for people to "fit in". What matters is that you contribute to society and have respect for others. Fitting in is overrated, and in some cases, next to impossible.
See, I live in Japan. I speak the language, but know some people who don't, mostly because it isn't necessary for them. Now since I have come to Japan to work, live, pay taxes and raise my daughter, does that mean that I have to stop watching hockey as I live in Japan? After all, it's a fringe sport here - and it's certainly not fitting in. Does it mean that I should not celebrate Christmas like I would back home? Just where do you stop demanding - what exactly is "fitting in"?
Like it or not, Sudanese (for example) people who come to Canada (example again) already have their own culture, they have come to Canada to make a better life for themselves. Isn't the pinnacle of freedom for any country the ability for one to live life and celebrate their customs it in a manner they choose?
If they don't want to learn English, fine - it will limit their chances but they may be fine with the opportunity they are given. If they want to wear a burqa, go ahead. When you start trying to force people to fit in, that's when problems arise - it's much more than a simple simple "he's doesn't speak my language so he's less of a [insert country ethnic definition] than I am".
