The US subscribes to the melting pot philosophy, and everything is English. So I guess a change of the "ingredients" in the pot change the country and the loss of English is a loss of understanding/comprehension of the surroundings that they've grown up with.

Everything is not in English in the US. Go to California and you will see Spanish prominently displayed on signs everywhere.
The US caters perfectly well to their minority populations when there is a good reason for doing so.
I think It probably makes for a more logical argument then the Canadian attitude of enforce French language everywhere even where it makes almost zero sense to do so.
