(Here I use the St. Augustine division of the commandments):

1. Worshipping other gods is legal in the USA.
2. Using the name God in any context is legal in the USA.
3. Working on Sunday is legal.
4. Dishonouring family members is legal.
5. *** Killing (murdering) is illegal in the USA.
6. Adultery is perfectly legal in the USA.
7. *** Theft is a crime in the USA.
8. *** In court, bearing false witness is a crime. Outside of court, it is debatable.
9. Coveting your neighbour's wife is legal.
10. Coveting anything you jolly well please is legal.

Thus at best three of the ten commandments correspond with US law (there are different ways to divide the commandments, but you should still get a total of three however you do it).

Do people who say the above sentence speak from ignorance of the Bible or from ignorance of American law?
