What problems did immigrants face when they came to America?

Problems faced by immigrants, after the US became an established nation, were similar to all eras of immigration. First there was the language barrier. Many immigrants did not speak English. Second was finding housing and then getting a job. If the immigrant had no friends or family already in the US, he/she was doubly handicapped. Many Americans disliked immigrants so there developed racial discrimination.
