There were many problems immigrants faced in the 1900s. In the 1900s, the ships that sent the immigrants to America were mostly overcrowded and as we know at that time technology was maybe a little bit,er...... how should I say it........ oh yeah......... off.

So when they went to America,well if they got to America (without dying on the ship) they might be sent back to their country just because...... well, they didn't pass some (stupid) medical tests... Then when they got off Ellis Island, the ground wasn't made of gold... (People used to say America's streets were made out of gold) it wasn't, anyway...... They got horrible jobs too, just because some couldn't speak English well... Horrible huh? They were also some times treated like outcasts.

Immigrants settled in cities because that's where they landed, and many did not have the resources to travel to other areas where conditions were better.

Most immigrants settled in cities because that was where most of the jobs were. Often, immigrants lived in very poor areas, which were overcrowded and unhealthy. Immigrants settled in cities because there was work available for them within the cities. Housing was also available.
