trying to adopt to American society. Therefore losing their language, Spanish.

They forget where they came from. Sometimes what happens is they learn spanish in their early years but then they go to school and learn English and lose their Spanish…..It’s sad but they just get separated from their culture and everything. Luckily, there are still many out there who don’t go through the same thing.
If that doesn’t make sense think of colonial America. No one speaks with a british accent anymore but at some point teh colonists’ must’ve.

A lot of people coming to the US want to completely adopt their new country – and that includes the language.
They try as hard as they possibly can to make sure their kids learn the language – but refusing to speak Spanish to them. Eventually, with nobody else speaking Spanish to them, the kids only speak English – which is the intent.
That’s actually getting less common, but it certainly used to be that immigrants wanted to leave "the old country" far behind.

They don’t speak Spanish because they never cared to learn or when they were young their Spanish was great but after they went to school they were surrounded with people who know only english so they had to adapt and they forgot the other language.

maybe their parents didn’t teach them?

I am from Argentina. I speak Spanish fine.
My stepmother was born in San Antonio, Texas. She is unable to make a sentence, but knows a lot of vocabulary.
My step-grandmother is a native Speaker. She decided not to teach her children so they didn’t face the difficulties she faced.
Some parents don’t teach their children so they are forced to learn English.
I don’t see it as a problem.

Maybe they’re Brazilian.

the same reason the people of USA don`t speak the language of their forefathers (for instance, german, african languages, etc.)

Second generation migrants can be placed in a spectrum on how they adapt to their new country. On the one extreme there are those who are ashamed of their origins,and wish to assimilate totally, and on the other hand there are those who are fiercely defensive of their origins and insist on preserving their culture exclusively. People will be on different positions on this spectrum. There are also those whose parents believe it is best to assimilate and thus speak to their children only in English to give them a better start. Many of them may have spoken English at home before migrating to the USA..
