The factors that contributed to "new immigrants" having a more difficult time adapting to life in America compared to "old immigrants" include:

  • Many new immigrants didn't speak English.
  • The new immigrants were not Protestant.

These aspects often created barriers to employment, social integration, and community support. The statement regarding them not wanting to work for low wages and the skill level of the immigrants may not directly correspond to the primary challenges faced in adaptation.
