    For many of us, our ancestors came to the United States not knowing English. Newspapers were published in German, Irish, etc. to accomodate the needs of these immigrants. People who are current immigrants have not often had the means or opportunity to learn English fluently before coming to the US. In my city (DC), English as a Second Language classes are overflowing with people wanting to learn the language. Businesses in the US want to serve their customers; since an increasing number of people in the US speak Spanish as their first language, we are seeing an increase in bilingual phone options, printed instructions, etc.
