Is it discrimination to require that employees be able to speak English. We have Spanish speaking employees and are having extreme difficulty communicating with them. Because of it we have had several machines in our plant crash because the employees do not understand the instructions they are being given. Can someone help me?

However, you can't require them to ONLY speak English. You should permit them to speak their own language in situations where business necessity or safety is not an issue, e.g., breaks, lunch, etc.
It works and that is what counts.
