63% of Hispanic U.S. immigrants not literate in EnglishA whopping
63 percent of all Hispanic immigrants coming into the United States are functionally illiterate in English, according to the latest study.
The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) recently published a report showing that of all the immigrants entering the U.S., 41 percent register scores at or below “functional illiteracy,” which is the lowest level of English literacy also known as “below basic.” But the lowest-percentage group to efficiently speak, read and write English are Hispanic immigrants.
Compared with other immigrants from round the world,
those coming from Mexico and other Latin American countries are least likely to get by with the minimal rudimentary language skills to acclimate to American culture.
“Hispanic immigrants struggle the most with English literacy,” CIS divulged from its study. “Their average score falls at the 8th percentile, and
63 percent are below basic.”
