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. It was felt immigrants took away from Americans, did not respect our customs and traditions, were usually of a nationality that had strange religious or nationality practices, and usually congregated in small areas of the cities.
