Answer:

"Papa and Mama regret not leaving sooner because there is no more housing available, and Mama’s friend says that the difficulties the Japanese Americans experienced when they were evacuated in 1942 are starting again.The idea of starting over that Mama’s friend mentions and that Mama mournfully repeats has a double meaning that refers to the difficulty of life outside the camp. By “It is all starting over,” Mama means that the Japanese will once again have to face the same difficulties they experienced in moving to the camps. The deeper meaning for the Issei, however, is that they must start their entire lives over, but that this time the odds are stacked against them. When the Issei arrived during the prewar boom years, jobs and housing were plentiful. "
