Enh, saying 'won't' learn the language makes it sound like immigrants are specifically choosing not to learn the local language out of sheer spite. Most folks, learning a new language is hard, and there's going to be a learning curve no matter how devoted someone is. Second-generation kids who are born into both languages are far more likely to pick it up, just because it's easier for a kid to learn.

Also, I come from Texas, where over one in three people is Hispanic. With such an overwhelming portion of the population speaking Spanish, I consider not having both languages in regular use wrong-headed at best. It's no longer an assimilation issue; it's just flat out pragmatics.
