Freedom of speech.
My wife and I often switch to her native language when in public. That helps to keep our conversation semi-private. If someone doesn't like that we do that, I will invite them to kiss my azz. I had a friend at work who started learning the language. We spoke it together on our breaks. Don't like that we are doing it, then stop trying to listen in.
One day I was moving a patient upstairs and I was speaking to her in Spanish. Those were the “Freedom fries” years. So this nosy lady complained out loud that this was ‘merica and we needed to speak English. I glared at her and crisply informed her that we were speaking in Spanish because I can speak more than one language. I assured her we weren’t talking about her because she wasn’t that important. I asked her to “kindly mind your own business”.
So glad I don’t have to deal with that BS anymore.

If the Spanish speakers are legal then such a threat shouldn't bother them.
I love it when I use to go bid work and the homeowners would be from Asia. They would never think some Redneck would know Cantonese.
I'd hear them talking ****, thinking this dumb Redneck doesn't know what we are saying. Never bothered me, I just added onto the bid. finished the work collect the check and then rattle off a the good byes and thankyou's in Cantonese. They would just look at each other immediately. Bai bai......
