The edit made on this page was to the following statement:

It has been estimated that areas in the United States with higher immigrant populations have the lowest literacy rates in the country.

Investigation of the sources listed here revealed less than credible information, and misuse of information:


 * Seattle Post-Intelligencer, the first source cited, references a University of Washington study that is neither cited nor linked to, and which concerns high school drop out rates, not literacy rates. It mentions literacy rates among immigrant students only anecdotally.
 * The second citation comes from a Los Angeles Times article that states only that "immigrants who speak English as a second language possess far lower literacy levels in English than native English speakers.".
 * The third article cited comes from the California Progress Report, an independent, user created journal that admits in their "About Us" page that "Our limited staffing does not allow California Progress Report to fact check the content of articles."

Neither the Seattle Post-Intelligencer nor the California Progress Report articles qualify as credible sources. Information from the Los Angeles Times article is misappropriated. N8ycakes 14:57, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
