I'd seriously doubt any immigrant could assimilate that fast. Assimilation usually works in generations, and it'd be 20 or 30 years before that occurs, and if there are enough of them in a given area, then it won't occur at all.
Yes, people that say immigrants assimilate quickly have apparently never visited a major US city and go to Chinatown, Germantown, Greektown, Little Russia, Little Italy, Little Jerusalem, etc. Immigrants typically live in enclaves the first and second generation, then their children and grandchildren venture out. Assimilation is a slow process.

Yes this is reality. If you put a 5 year cap on it, you might as well assume they aren't going to assimilate. It's very difficult to change habits and cultural norms in a five year period.

Assimilation takes generations.
