Do you have references to support the position that

1.) there is a "huge influx of Asian immigrants" in Silicon Valley?

2.) Little leagues in Silicon Valley are folding each year?

3.) the above 2 have a proven connection?

Here's one example:  Cupertino, CA census (2000 -- 50% White, 44% Asian; 2010 -- 31% White, 63% Asian).  Little Leagues -- 2000 (Cupertino National, Cupertino American, Tri-Cities).  2018 -- (Cupertino National/Tri-Cities merged, Cupertino American merged with Moreland).  Obviously, now way to prove any connection between 1 and 2.  Can only show stats.  But 4 leagues down to 2.  From what I know...might have 1-2 kids in a 30 kid Elementary school classroom playing Little League (Soccer would be at least 5-6 maybe more).

"In Silicon Valley, with the huge influx of Asian immigrants, Little Leagues are folding each year."

Your point related to "Asian Immigrant" population changes not changes in Asian census figures. Those  census numbers you posted say nothing about "immigrant" status.
