Absolutely. And almost all immigrants have historically signed up for the 'American Dream' - learn English, blend in, allegiance to the flag rather than the peasant culture parents came from etc.
It is only starting to fall apart since we have had this PC crap about 'heritage' and finding ones 'culture' and dealing with 'minorities' and the stupid idea of being worried about the individual rather than the utilitarian view of what is best for the common good.
