The answer is:

They feel more connected to their American culture than that of their ancestors.

In both excerpts from Dwight Okita's "In Response to Executive Order 9066" and Sandra Cisneros' "Mericans," the narrators direct attention to their attachment to American way of life. The first narrator of Asian ancestry finds eating with chopsticks strange and her favorite food is hot dogs. Similarly, Micaela, who has Mexican origins, is not fully proficient in Spanish and responds to her Mexican grandmother in an unsuitable manner.

The idea that is true of the speakers in both excerpts is that "they feel more connected to their American culture than that of their ancestors."

Explanation:

The excerpt from "In Response to Executive Order 9066." makes a comparison about how does the character feels about representative thing from each one of the cultures, as she says, she feels funny using chopsticks (from Japan) and her favorite food is Hot dogs (from USA), similar to this the excerpt from "Mericans." she says "The awful grandmother says it all in Spanish, which I understand when I'm paying attention." which means that she does not have deep connections with her roots and she answers with the word "What?" which is American English.
