That site is so weird. And whoever wrote that article is also mathematically illiterate. Not to mention they didn’t link to any sources. So here is one they claim to have used:

https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?title=Foreign_language_skills_statistics#Level_of_command_of_best_known_foreign_language

This source says that 65% of 25-64 year old spoke at least a second language in 2016. The much lower number of 24% is when asked about proficiency, which can’t be compared with the US given Americans’ notorious overestimation of their own qualifications.

Most of the 25% of Americans (I couldn’t find a source for this) claiming to speak a second language is immigrants. I guess it needs to be said, but when people comment on the monolongualism of Americans, it’s about those who are not immigrants or first generation born in the US.

In my experience, most non Hispanics claiming to speak Spanish in the US struggle to hold even a basic conversation. And I have been to 35+ states, including door to door canvassing, etc.

It may not have been your intention but your comment came out dickish. Since your English is so good you should be able to phrase things better.

Immigration is complicated, and you are thinking only of “legal” immigration. It is extremely common for people to ignore those laws. And a job is not always required, no.

You (generic you) don’t need to really emigrate to a country to receive treatment, you could go with a tourist visa or visa free and get treated, then go back to the shitty country without universal healthcare where you live.

In my home country everyone has access to healthcare because it’s a human right, so by law it doesn’t matter what your immigration status is, you will get care. This includes cancer treatment, for free.

You don’t have to be rich, it takes a couple thousand dollars, the problem is to not become homeless afterwards…

Uh, what? Most Catholics aren’t circumcised, that’s an American thing.
