The author suggests that adjustment is difficult for the poorest immigrants to the US because of wide cultural differences, economic barriers, and prevalence of discrimination and racism.
Immigrants to the US face multiple hurdles in adjusting to American society. While there are many reasons to this, adjustment is particularly difficult for the poorest immigrants.
One reason is discrimination they face owing to their ethnic, racial and other identities. These are often accompanied by stereotypes and prejudices. Thus, there is little getting well-paying jobs for poorest immigrants who lack advanced education or skills.
Differences in cultural practices, etiquette, and even dietary practices also act as major barriers to adjustment, and failure to uphold the norms and expectations often provokes backlash in the form of verbal or physical abuse.
