A typical Mexican immigrant is not going to be reading Bertrand Russell, Mark Twain, or Herman Mellville. They don't care.
Even if they do graduate high school, and the stats say that's not necessarily likely, they are not going to be reading up on the Civil War, the biography of George Washington, or how the French helped us win the Revolution.
Even if they could understand it, reading at a sixth grade level, it's not relevant to their culture. It is not relevant to their children, since they will identify with their parents culture, before ours.
