How come most immigrant are afraid that their children would become "too american"?

I never understood it. Why come here if you dont want your kids to be asimilated in american culture?
What does "too american" even mean?
Answers:   
That is not the case with most immigrants. They want their children to fit contained by and be accepted. That is especially the case if they do not live in a community next to similar immigrants.

But people from everywhere are proud of their own language and culture. They would approaching this passed on, just as most of us could not imagine our descents not celebrating Thanksgiving, for example.
Take a look at the hatred and spite against other people in the medium and on such boards as these.

Look at the racial aspects of politics, even attacks on your own elected officials.

Look at the "me first" culture in the US.
--"He who dies beside the most toys wins."

--Look at the lies and rumours around the proposed health bill from people who haven't even bothered to read it.?

That's what ancestors from other cultures, where there is more respect, fear for their children. That sort of entry rubs off.
Lmfao! U a dumb 8!tch who da fhukc said dat?
many immigrants do assimilate to some of the American culture but want to keep some of their behind the times cultures also. This is fine. Illegals aliens do not want to assimilate in no way, shape or form. Many bring in customs not permitted in the U.S. they think it is okay because this is their custom. They have no respect for any law or customs of our country. Good example is "cock fighting" This brutal disgusting sport is big in mexico and other hispanic countries. It is banned here. But it goes on within so many of the illegal hispanic neighborhoods. more than what is ever put in the medium!!
They are singular here for the money.
When they connote too American they mean the bad side of being American. Lets facade it American culture today isn't really a paragon of what people should be doing.
The drugs, sex, under education, binge drinking, gang, acting like total boobs to people of authority, thats what they mean by too American.
You know what?I agree near you 100%.But what is interesting,they want kids to be born here in America because they want them to have American citizenship for more benefits but they don't want them to be American.I'm as a recent immigrant myself don't understand that too.Why that family want to live in America but they don't want to assimilate at all and talking **** more or less Americans?
Stop immigration, illegal and legal, for awhile until people can appreciate it again. And fashion new laws about assimilation. Demographics are EVERYTHING for a strong country. Our leaders are destroying our Western world.
Children in Europe or other culture part of the world are more season,respectful and dependable.

It is horrible to me to hear here, when a 20 something years old female whining , meowing when she try speak. Uggggghhhhhhhh!! They can not even articulate and they think it's classy. Huhhhhh??!!

A parent can not raise a finger because he/she goes to jail?! Whaaaaat??! They shoot each other and the professor in school??Now; this is "too american" for me!! Hell no, I wouldn't want my kids to be assimilated in the so call "american culture"!!
But besides me, Johnny Depp thinks the same way and that's why he lives within France and raises his kids there because he also doesn't want his kids to be assimilated in the so call "american culture".

Ohh, I must to mention: he is NOT an immigrant!

And the bottom line is; America has no culture at all within the cultural world.
it mean two much applepie and da hot dogs isay eat ur frijoles and da tacos too
Everyone have their own ideas of how to raise their children. Most want to go beside what they have seen word before, so this is not unusual.

When I be in HS, 30 years ago, I had friends whose parents were from Europe (Poland, Russia mostly) and they needed their kids to keep their old world values. They thought American kids had no discipline and no respect for their elder.
