Answer:
B. They were often pushed into low-paying jobs with poor working conditions.
Explanation:
After the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, which ended the Mexican-American War, nearly 75,000 Mexicans living in the American Southwest received US citizenship. That didn't guarantee that they would have no problems, though. The main problem they faced was that the white settlers forced them out of their land and jobs, sometimes even by force. The government didn't pay attention to the fact they couldn't return to their own land, and whenever such matters reached court, judges and lawyers would have a Mexican American landowner spend every bit of money he had.
Besides that, Mexican Americans were forced to take the worst-paying jobs with the worst conditions, often working almost like salves, cattle herders, and cartmen, or undertaking dangerous mining tasks.
As Mama’s only son, Ruth’s defiant husband, Travis’s caring father, and Beneatha’s belligerent brother, Walter serves as both protagonist and antagonist of the play. The plot revolves around him and the actions that he takes, and his character evolves the most during the course of the play. Most of his actions and mistakes hurt the family greatly, but his belated rise to manhood makes him a sort of hero in the last scene.
Throughout the play, Walter provides an everyman perspective of the mid-twentieth-century Black male. He is the typical man of the family who struggles to support it and who tries to discover new, better schemes to secure its economic prosperity. Difficulties and barriers that obstruct his and his family’s progress to attain that prosperity constantly frustrate Walter. He believes that money will solve all of their problems, but he is rarely successful with money.
