How come a great country like America has so many in this day and age!?

The US has more citizens who are illiterate - some 16 million people -
than many of its developed counterparts. Why is that?

Partially because we have millions of immigrants from countries where
illteracy is the norm.

That's no barrier to citizenship. A rudimentary grasp of English or
literacy in any known language apparently is optional.
