This ideological "there shouldn't be any countries" thing is a pipe dream, in my humble opinion.

Well of course it is. That's what ideologies are. Thinking logically and laterally will produce the same opinion. The trouble with arbitrary countries is that they disturb various cultures' important things like language and arts, while the trouble with cultures is that they disturb the running of countries with their silly things like (IMO) traditions and religion. Erm, I'm not really going anywhere with this, but I felt the need to stand up for anti-country ideas.

Also I know this because when asked something in english, They stare while looking confused then walk off. Also, Many speak thier native language, I don't have much of a problem with this, But you dont see many of them speaking english.).

I'm in no way pretending to be familiar with your area, but it could be they simply stared at you blankly because you were a stranger in a culture they're not yet settled in to, or because you were speaking more colloquially, whereas their business and governmental interactions might perhaps take sympathy and enunciate clearly.
In my limited experience, immigrants who don't seem to speak English well actually surprised me with their levels of comprehension. It might not perform well in a GCSE, but all they need is enough to get them by.
