Let's not blame the immigrants for this.
First, there is no official language of the US. Literacy tests can be administered in Spanish, Arabic, Japanese, or whatever language the subject predominantly uses.
Second, the US does not have unusually high ratio of immigrant. That's a lie that had been created by right-wing bigots. The US is about 14% immigrant, which is not unusual compared to European countries.
Anecdotally, most of the complete dipshits I know are born in the US. The people that manage to immigrate are the individuala who can read and write well enough to understand immigration documents (with the help of a lawyer), and have a decent chunk of money, or necessary skillset to sustain their finances in the US.
