I don’t think so, I’m a first generation Chilean-American, my brother and I are fully bilingual but that was because we moved to Chile for a chunk of our childhood after parents split. My half sister were fully raised in USA same as mi first degree cousins. They speak 0 Spanish, can’t even talk to Spanish speaking grandparents. To stay bilingual parents need a ]n active role in promoting it. My godson/nephew (son of my brother) is fully bilingual but that was an active effort to put him in Spanish pre-school /kindergarten and then when moved to English he spoke Spanish at home and English at school.
