add to cart   close window

A neatly typed letter, signed "Warboys--A White Aryan Faction From the Great Aryan Nations," was sent to Roberto Martinez of the San Diego office of the "American Friends Beaner Committee." The Warboys were responding to Martinez's call for counter-demonstrations against the monthly Light Up the Border vigils on the California-Mexico line. Light Up the Border was begun last November by Muriel Watson, widow of a border patrol pilot. In April, Martinez and other human rights activists in the San Diego area began counter-demonstrations, using mirrors and pieces of aluminum foil to reflect the headlights back toward the U.S.
