I've picked up on Spanish from the 22 years that I've lived in the Bronx. The PuertoRicans that worked in the local Bodega had that fire watermelon Haze. In high school I had above a 90 average in every class from spanish 1 to 4 and advanced spanish. I can understand the language real well and almost speak it fluently, I even throw in a fake ass accent in there when talking to my best friend.

It's a real easy language to learn and in NY,it's hard to tell who's Black or PuertoRican/Dominican anymore.

No one is forcing you to do it, but why would any smart employer ignore an advantage that significant? Besides, the whole point is that spanish is supposedly becoming a significant part of american culture, at which point it stops being just "their" language.

I can only see good coming out of this. Another language would enrich the culture greatly. Besides, I've always thought native english speakers could benefit greatly from speaking more than one language (and I'm sure alot of people would agree with me on this), and what better way to do that than to be immersed within it's culture?

No one is forcing anyone to learn another language, the job market is competitive as it is. Its just a known fact being bilingual has a big advantage over the person that isnt. No matter what language it might be.
