The overwhelming majority of immigrants do learn English.

And almost all their kids are fluent.

People always fear newcomers won’t learn the language.  Benjamin Franklin feared all those German-speakers in Pennsylvania.  Many immigrant groups seem to keep their own languages at first, but overtime, they even forget their ancestral tongues.  Fears that groups of immigrants won’t learn English turn out to be silly.
