However, since 1946, with some exceptions, it has been a legal requirement that one demonstrate mastery of English to become an American citizen.

Babies don't speak english and they are citizens if born in the US.

However, my point was that there are American citizens that are born in the States and grow-up not speaking English.

This is probably true... However, IMHO, parents of children who do not grow up learning English should be charged with child abuse and their children taken away.
