Actually, many of the immigrant generation never learned English. Their children tended to and their grandchildren were fluent. I'm pretty sure the same pattern holds for immigrants from Mexico and other parts of Latin America.

Not for a long time. The first US immigration law passed in 1875, and the restrictive laws we're now familiar with didn't come until the 1920's. For generations, people came here and settled without quotas or rules or any of that.
