This is my response, let me know what you guys think! Feel free to leave any suggestions if I should add or take out anything in my response or just leave it as it is! :D

What I suppose Mrs. Jong is teaching Waverly and her brother about The American Rules is that if you need help, no matter what, you shall figure it out on your own. She implies this situation about the American Rules of chess with the struggle of getting into America and not knowing how to enter a new country. In order to enter America as a foreigner, you will have to do some paperwork that shows you're a legal citizen of the country; but as a for foreigners, it's difficult. It's difficult because they don't speak English and can't read what's written in English so it would be hard to understand what they have to do in order to enter the country and again be considered as a legal citizen. I know this in light of the fact that in the story, it states, “This American rules,” she concluded at last. “Every time people come out from foreign country, must know rules. You not know, judge say, Too bad, go back. They not telling you why so you can use their way go forward. They say, Don’t know why, you find out yourself. But they knowing all the time. Better you take it, find out why yourself.” She tossed her head back with a satisfied smile.“ Therefore, this is what I believe Mrs. Jong is teaching Waverly and her brother about The American Rules.

Answer 1

You are within the context but there is a little bit sort of contradiction on one statement that is: "In order to enter America as a foreigner, you will have to do some paperwork that shows you're a legal citizen of the country; but as a for foreigners, it's difficult. It's difficult because they don't speak English and can't read what's written in English so it would be hard to understand what they have to do in order to enter the country and again be considered as a legal citizen*

Maybe you should clarify well what you mean by saying" entering America as a foreigner"; "but as foreigners, it is difficult." those two statements are likely meaning the same thing.

you can rather say:" In order to enter America as a foreigner, you will have to do some paperwork that shows you're a legal citizen of the country; but as a foreigner who want to be citizens it is difficult.

I added the word citizen there so that at list it makes a difference.
