As for the question, I assume that this is in part due to, as bethany said, the cultural expectations. Nobody is arguing that those exist.

Most immigrants come and start families here or bring very young children here. And why doesn't culture apply to them? Why don't they all turn out to work at 7-11's and drive cabs simply because that's what culture says? Is it an internal culture then? Who is responsible for that if it's internal??
