Most of the "new immigrants" who arrived in the United States in the late 1800s and early 1900s experienced poverty, discrimination, and difficulty assimilating into American society due to cultural differences and language barriers. They often faced harsh living and working conditions in overcrowded urban areas, and many were subjected to prejudice and hostility from those who feared or resented their presence. However, despite these challenges, many immigrants were able to build new lives and contribute to the growth and development of American society.
