One good reason not to incorporate Graham into tango is that it would take most tango dancers about 5 years of daily work to actually master Graham. Since most can't even master tango in 5 years :), it is not likely that there could be a successdul fusion. Instead, it might be easier to teach tango to the Graham dancers.
Graham is an incredible dance form and training requires brutal work and a very strong spirit. It is also a great American legacy of dance. Just like tango, there will be many people that would like to bastardise it by making it "accessible to the masses".
