Biographical / Historical Notes
In the 1920s, there were many disturbances along the United States-Mexico border stemming from prohibition. These incidences
were especially common at the San Diego-Tijuana border. The tension was made worse by murders and smuggling issues which led
to the border being temporarily closed in 1926.
