For myself, I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t really see how one can justify that as a discriminating practice especially when you are in North America.  I think the main argument is that they still hired the people knowing that they didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t speak English and so it shouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be a valid reason to fire them.
