all i can say is that is a very optimistic map I don't know who the NRRF is, possible they are as full of shite as wikipedia but somebody is lying. As a "man on the street" in the USA, I have an idea which numbers are closer to reality 42 million America adults can’t read at all; 50 million are unable to read at a higher level that is expected of a fourth or fifth grader. Each year there is an increase by about 2.25 million adults who can be classified functionally illiterate. Furthermore, 20% of students graduating from high school are illiterate. (Source: National Right to Read Foundation) I don't know what category you want to place those illegally here and legally who never intend to be literate in the native language, but i would not count on their interests being aligned with mine on most matters.
