Immigrants trying to assimilate and adapt to life in the United States faced the following challenges:
-
Discrimination: Many immigrants encountered prejudice and discrimination based on their nationality, ethnicity, or culture, making it difficult for them to integrate into society.
-
Cultural differences: Immigrants often faced significant cultural differences, including language barriers, social norms, and customs that differed from their own, posing challenges to their adaptation.
While war and conflict can affect immigrants, it is not a direct challenge faced during the assimilation process in the same way as discrimination and cultural differences are. Therefore, the relevant challenges are discrimination and cultural differences.
