I feel (A.) and (B.) are somehow different.
I take this way;
(A.): It means that X : X=some Latino immigrants wi

Hello, both of you!
I've just thought of something: if what you mean is that there are two groups of immigrants, one that will assimilate and a second that won't, maybe there's a less ambiguous way of saying it:
"It means that some Latino immigrants will assimilate the new culture, but some others will refuse to assimilate"
To me, the use of "some of them" makes the sentence weird,

"... will assimilate to the new culture ..." or "... will become assimilated to the new ..."
