I've hears stories of some Americans telling other people who are speaking a non-English language "This is America, speak English!" even if the conversation has nothing to do with them. Why do they do this?

Because those Americans are entitled, insecure, ignorant, xenophobic assholes.

Just like any other asshole who gets mad about this. It isn't a uniquely American attitude.
