Essay about challenges that immigrants face here in the U.S.
Challenges that immigrants would face in the U.S. -
I think are various possible and very basic reasons that immigrant find difficulties in U.S.
First reason would be language because a person who came from a different country who have their own language. The person lived there from birth and it is his birth tongue so to learn and adopt a new language with a complete different accent can be difficult for any one. Ultimately, language is the basic requirement because if you are not able to communicate then you would be able to do anything. Communication is the key. English is the only language spoken by most of the people. From job to everything, you need to learn the language first.
The second reason would be Cultural shock. I mean US is whole different world & a dream for many people. But, when they come new as immigrants, most of the people find difficult to live according to american standards and adopting a new culture. Learning new language and adopting a new culture may sound interesting but they can be very difficult and stressful for the person who come to a new country.
The third reason would be difficulty in making new friends because when you in a new country the most required thing is a friend or any known relation to help or atleast to spend time. The loneliness can make things more difficult.
The fourth & the most important reason is to find a good job. America is a rich but expensive country. It becomes difficult to get jobs due to competition between immigrants as well as the locals. The first preference of anyone would be locals plus a few number of good paying jobs. Financial constraints make your life difficult. Even if one would get a job then it hard to keep it securely.
The other various resons would be - to find a good place to live, good education for children, Difficulties in transportation, the illegal immigrants does not even have access to most basic services like healthcare, psychological stress, emtional stress from missing family & loneliness and so many that only they are aware of.
