Bad news there sunshine. Those foreign nationals that you want to hire don't speak these languages either! Spanish and even some Arabic instructors would be fine for those students in their native tongues, but how will they speak to American kids?
Didn't I state they needed to be proficient in English????? Why... Yes I did!
I recently worked with a teacher from Bosnia. No matter how hard he tried, he cannot rid himself of his definitive accent. He is an incredible teacher and works more hours than is imaginable for his students, but some students cannot get past that language barrier. Even his name is unpronounceable.
So now you're criticizing accents? I suppose you have issues with the variety of accents American English has too. Sounds like the one with an issue is yourself as you struggle to maintain your status quo.

Proficient is a nebulous term. Many African-American teachers I have encountered would not meet that requirement having lived in the US since their birth.
