It does not say 1 in 20 americans are not literate.  It says 1 in 20 adults in the US are not literate.  This is vastly different.  I'm sure more than 5% of the US population is illegal, so this is really a nonpoint.  Stop illegal immigration and this problem will be solved.

Church: What are you two guys doing?
Tucker: We're going to teach the alien how to speak English.
Church: How're you gonna do that? 
Tucker: People learn English all the time, it aren't that hard
Church: Maybe you should try learning his language. 
Tucker: Fuck that, we got here first, and that makes this a colony.  Those're the rules, dude.  Earth colony, Earth language. 
Church: Tucker there's thousands of languages spoken on Earth. 
Tucker: Yeah, but only one that kicks ass.  And that's the one we're teaching.  English 101, remedial kick-ass. 


RvB rests its case.  ;)
