Totally agree with this, plus their kids will be educated in American (Australian in my case) schools, so they'll obviously learn English.
My next door neighbours are from China, and have only come to Australia very recently. The parents speak very little English, but they have two young kids, and they always make the effort to speak to their kids in English, all the time. I think it's really cute.
