No incentive. That's basically it. Years ago you had to learn the language because no one coddled to you. You were expected to know at least a modicum of English to function in society.
Also people came here with the idea that they were going to become American and being American meant speaking English. My parents grew up in households of Italian immigrants and never learned italian because "you're in America, you speak English."
Somalis have an average IQ 68. That means a significant majority is too retarded to function in a developped society ( 80 being the generally agreed-upon threshold ).
Pair this with the fact it's harder to learn another language as an adult, and dumber people have less brain plasticity too, and you get that.
How do you not learn English in 19 fucking years?
Choice.
