My grand parents and parents came from Germany. They learned english. They did not try to change this country into little Mexico, Havana or any other. Don't get me started. Most of these countries look like shit holes and for the most part they turn areas here into the same garbage.
My paternal GF came to the US in 1889 and told the kids- "This is America- we speak English". Unless they didn't want the kids to know what they were talking about, and they spoke German. I doubt that worked for long, though- most of the neighborhood and included other immigrants, so translation was easy enough.
