No they aren't... sometimes conflicts are brought over from the old country and continued here... you should read about the problems with the Orangemen in Ontario in the 19th century - and the burnings and retaliations between Orange families and Catholics for having family/children that dared to fall in love or God forbid get married (like in my family history).
For the most part though even the strict immigrant families intergrate to some extent as the generations pass.
