'You talk in English because this is America': California gas station worker is fired for racist tirade at woman who spoke in Spanish after asking her to prove her U.S. citizenship

A gas station worker has been fired for a racist tirade at a customer who spoke Spanish after asking her to prove her U.S. citizenship. 
Grecya Moran filmed the shocking abuse on her phone at the Shell gas station in San Jose, California, after her conversation with a Spanish employee there was interrupted. 
She says the worker demanded the two speak English 'because this is America'. 
Grecya, who was holding her young son at the time of the incident, said she initially apologized, adding: 'I even went up to her and I apologized. 
'I said, "Excuse me, I'm sorry. All she was saying is, she was greeting me in Spanish. How my day's going". 
'And she said, "I don't care, you talk in English because this is America."
'She started saying something about, "Trump needs to hurry up and build the wall".

Grecya added: 'That's when I was like oh my God, she's being serious. I just got my phone, started videotaping her.' 
In the shocking clip the woman can be heard asking Moran to prove her U.S. citizenship in an expletive-ridden rant. 
She says: 'You can do whatever you want because you're not a United States citizen of the United States.'
When Moran replies 'I was born here', she adds: 'Then prove it to me, motherf*****.'
Moran adds: 'This is a free country, if I want to talk in Spanish I can talk in Spanish.'
The woman then says: 'You know what, f*** you, I plan on quitting anyways.' 
'I was born here, raised here, and I never thought in a million years it was going to happen to me,' Moran told ABC7, 'I hear stories, I see videos but I never thought it was going to happen to me.'
Moran shared videos of the racist rant to Facebook, and they’ve since been viewed and shared thousands of times.
