Immigrants faced many difficulties because they were in a new place with possibly a new language, new laws, very little money or belongings, and some had difficulty getting a job. Chinese immigrants in the 18 and 1900s faced discrimination working on the Transcontinental Railroad. The Chinese had many jobs on the railroad, including setting the explosives to help make the tunnel to lay the railroad tracks through the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The new language was a major challenge for the people coming from minority English speaking countries because they had to learn a new language, when some of them might not have had that time. Most immigrants came with almost no money because they had left with limited time and space to pack their stuff. Sometimes, if you have a degree in your home country, the country that you moved to might not recognize your degree, making it harder to get a better job.
