Both of these options reflect significant issues faced by Hispanic Americans in the Southwest, but the major problem was primarily **white settlers taking their land from them**. This was a critical issue, especially during the westward expansion of the United States, when many Hispanic landowners lost their properties due to legal and extralegal means as Anglo settlers moved into the region. While laws banning Spanish language usage also posed challenges, the loss of land was more impactful in that historical context.
