I think that the biggest challenge would be learning the english language. English is a very hard language to learn. Fitting in with the American lifestyle and cultures would also be very tough.
Some challenges the immigrant families like Katie's might face problems such as "fitting in", and people staring at them. That might happen because one, the two major gateways to America are New York City and San Fransisco, and by being to both of them, there are some people are very not accepting. Two, there are different "groups" or "gangs", and in some places of the world, Japanese communities can be very scarce. English is a hard language to learn, maybe because it is a script, not caligraphy like in some places in the world, like most of my ancestors moved from China to the United States, and struggled to even have a job. Back to the American lifestyle, this is not a country where you can ride rickshaws everywhere and just "sunbathe" on them for a couple hours. This country is a very professional and industrial, so you need to at least learn or know the basics of English. Nowadays, in order to have a non-factory type job, people like teachers or officials for universities and/or the government I think need shelter, food, running water, a working bathroom, and a computer. Without money, that means no computer, and that means maybe no instant messaging, or e-mail, which is very essential because people do not write letters as much as they used to. Poor people might think a cellphone is more important as a computer, but I strongly disagree. You can still have an answering machine and a home phone.
problems could include adapting to a different culture, and furthermore trying to fit in and make new friends among a country with such a different culture. also, finding a job in such a different society. you would probably have to know english, which would be difficult to learn, and adapt to the American way of life.
