And of course Europe has so many bilingual people because they live so close to other cultures speaking other languages. If every region in the US spoke a different language things would be different obviously

That's one reason for sure, especially in border regions. The other one is that for basically any high paying job being fluent in English is a requirement as most companies operate internationally. You can have a very successful career speaking only one language, but nowadays only if that language happens to be English.
