Legal Question

Spanish Required?

Can an employer *require* any candidates for a position to be bilingual? I have been running into many positions lately where Spanish is a requirement--not preferred, but REQUIRED. Is this legal? Doesn't it cut out not only English-only speakers, but also those bilingual in other languages not Spanish?
