This is virtually spot-on with my experience. My Grandmother came over from Cuba with my Father. She never learned English. She basically reconstructed a little Cuba in her home and later in her room when she moved in with my Dad in her final years. I'm the grandson you are referring to. I'm fully American with little connection to Cuba other than the love of it's music, food and the pride I have in my family's accomplishments. But if I were deported back to Cuba I'd be a streetwalker until I figured out how to survive.
