I texted this comment to my deaf friend (a graduate of Gallaudet University) and she said; "Not bilingual kids, but certainly immigrants from non-english speaking countries! Just go to any big city and you will see a thriving Mexican, Chinese, or Indian community!" And she suggested you read just one book on the Deaf Community before being so certain. Deaf in America or Inside Deaf Culture would be a good start.
I will add that most people do not understand how divided the Deaf Community is about Coclear Implants. Least of all what you hear is not like what we would hear. It sounds like a robotic voice.
