If you look at the data, it tells you about 1/3 of those who are illiterate comes from foreigners so that is not surprising. But the largest demographic of illiterates in the US is white people lol
Also they are functionally illiterate. It’s a wide encompassing term that ranges from people who can’t read English because they just moved here to people who can only read basic words like stop and go or words they encounter often in life but not much more than that.
I would imagine many people who are functionally illiterate just go to work, watch tv, and sleep.

I have met people who couldn’t read who used their phones. It’s made for a literal infant child to use.
