They faced suspicion, discrimination, and restrictions on cross-border life.
B
They were welcomed more fully into the state’s Indigenous communities.
C
They stopped identifying with both Mexico and the United States.
D
They lost the right to practice their cultural traditions in their homes.

Explanation

Border conflicts often made Mexican American families seem suspect because of their ties to Mexico. They faced discrimination and restrictions that disrupted travel and other parts of cross-border life. This matches choice A; the conflicts did not mean families stopped identifying with both countries or lost all rights to practice traditions at home.
