I read this in the paper this morning.
It has to do with interest, and whatever the parents might value for education and other attitudes. Some years ago when her children were young, Elena was a teacher's aid for a while. She told me that there wasn't an ESL at that time in any of the numerous Asian languages. So, the Asian kids learned Spanish on the playground from the Mexican kids, then learned English in class from the Latin American orientation of the ESL classes. As a rule, the Asian kids went on to generally surpass the kids with Mexican national parents in English proficiency and classroom studies.
