HISTORICAL CASE STUDY: SAN DIEGO AND TIJUANA BORDER REGION RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SAN DIEGO POLICE DEPARTMENT 1957-1994 by Adolfo Gonzales A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education University of San Diego 1995 Dissertation Committee: Patricia A.

ABSTRACT HISTORICAL CASE STUDY: SAN DIEGO AND TIJUANA BORDER REGION RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SAN DIEGO POLICE DEPARTMENT 1957-1994 Large numbers of undocumented persons cross through, the hills and canyons along the San Ysidro/Tijuana border region, on a nightly basis. As these helpless victims cross, border bandits and other criminals stalk these people and prey on them like predatory animals. The San Diego Police Department is charged with the responsibility of providing public safety along the United States/Mdxico international border. The purpose of this research was to investigate the circumstances which led to the establishment of the San Diego/Tijuana international border (1846-1848), the role and policy of the San Diego Police Department along the international border, and the relationship of the Mexican law enforcement agencies with the San Diego Police Department < from 1957 to 1994. The study showed that the international border along the San Ysidro/Tijuana border was created following the Mdxican-American War of 1848. The role and responsibility of the San Diego Police Department along the San Ysidro/Tijuana international border grew from 1957 to 1994. In Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

In 1976, San Diego Police officers were assigned to the Border Alien Robbery Task Force, patrolling the canyons and hills along • the international border disguised as illegal aliens. These officers worked as team members with agents from the U. S. Border Patrol. The working re’ ionships between these officers and Mexican law enforcement officials were limited. As time went-on, the border task force saw different opportunities and different challenges. During the 1980s, the border task force changed their old tactics from working as disguised Mexican aliens to working in full police uniform. In 1990, the border task force began working in a partnership with the Mexican law enforcement task force known as the Beta Group. Officers from both the United States and Mexico developed professional working relationships with each other, improved bi-lateral United States/Mdxico relations, and reduced the number of officer- involved shootings and reported violent crimes along the international border.

I have been exceptionally fortunate to have had the moral, emotional and professional support of many people-to all of whom I am expressly greatful. A particular thanks to Dr. Patricia Lowry, my committee chairperson, for her guidance, constructive criticism, and scholarly advise throughout these long months. A special thanks to Dr. Ray Brandes, another committee member, for his patience and scholarly support, and a sincere thanks to Dr. Edward Kajuawa, another committee member, for his encouragement and guidance. I consider it a privilege to have had such distinguished and professional scholars on my committee. A special thanks to the San Diego Police Department, its chief, Jerry Sanders, and all its officers, at all ranks, for their cooperation and assistance with this research project. Most of all, I wish to express my love and appreciation to my wife, Rosalia. Her unselfish support and encouragement these last few months was probably the only reason our marriage survived the trauma of a doctoral dissertation. A special thanks and love to my daughters, Melody and Christine,

    Coloniality and Border(ed) Violence: San Diego, San Ysidro and the U-S///Mexico Border By Roberto Delgadillo Hernández A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnic Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Ramón Grosfoguel, Chair Professor José David Saldívar Professor Ignacio Chapela Professor Joseph Nevins Fall 2010 Coloniality and Border(ed) Violence: San Diego, San Ysidro and the U-S///Mexico Border © Copyright, 2010 By Roberto Delgadillo Hernández Abstract Coloniality and Border(ed) Violence: San Diego, San Ysidro and the U-S///Mexico Border By Roberto Delgadillo Hernández Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnic Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Ramón Grosfoguel, Chair Considered the “World's Busiest Border Crossing,” the San Ysidro port of entry is located in a small, predominantly Mexican and Spanish-speaking community between San Diego and Tijuana. The community of San Ysidro was itself annexed by the City of San Diego in the mid-1950s, in what was publicly articulated as a dispute over water rights. This dissertation argues that the annexation was over who was to have control of the port of entry, and would in turn, set the stage for a gendered/racialized power struggle that has contributed to both real and symbolic violence on the border. This dissertation is situated at the crossroads of urban studies, border studies and ethnic studies and places violence as a central analytical category. As such, this interdisciplinary work is manifold. It is a community history of San Ysidro in its simultaneous relationship to the U-S///Mexico border and to the City of San Diego.

  • An Early Mormon Enterprise on Point Loma by Bradley Hill
    The San Diego Coal Company: An Early Mormon Enterprise on Point Loma By Bradley Hill t he san diego Coal Company went into business with modest fanfare—but with no lack of fervor—in november 1855. the company excavated a mine shaft on the western slope of Point loma, about a mile and a half north of the lighthouse. the mine consumed thousands of man-hours spent in earnest labor. It also con- sumed thousands of investor dollars. near the close of its first year in business, the company was within a few vertical feet of exposing and exploiting a proven and potentially profitable coal reserve. toward the end of the second year, however, the company’s activities came to an abrupt standstill, and most of the original entre- preneurs and laborers abandoned the operation. since then, historians, journalists, and even geologists have occasionally written about this mid-century mining episode. their articles and papers usually focus on the mine itself, relying on scant contemporary documents and speculation to account for the actual men and motives that energized the original enter- prise. little has been written about the human drama that drove the digging. today, 154 years since its incorporation, few people have even heard of the san diego Coal Company. Many san diegans, though, are aware of a folk legend about a “Mormon Mine” or “Mormon Well” somewhere on Point loma. one version of the legend holds that mem- bers of the Mormon Battalion initiated the mine while garrisoned in old town as early as 1847, just after the U.s.

  • 4 Tribal Nations of San Diego County This Chapter Presents an Overall Summary of the Tribal Nations of San Diego County and the Water Resources on Their Reservations
    4 Tribal Nations of San Diego County This chapter presents an overall summary of the Tribal Nations of San Diego County and the water resources on their reservations. A brief description of each Tribe, along with a summary of available information on each Tribe’s water resources, is provided. The water management issues provided by the Tribe’s representatives at the San Diego IRWM outreach meetings are also presented. 4.1 Reservations San Diego County features the largest number of Tribes and Reservations of any county in the United States. There are 18 federally-recognized Tribal Nation Reservations and 17 Tribal Governments, because the Barona and Viejas Bands share joint-trust and administrative responsibility for the Capitan Grande Reservation. All of the Tribes within the San Diego IRWM Region are also recognized as California Native American Tribes. These Reservation lands, which are governed by Tribal Nations, total approximately 127,000 acres or 198 square miles. The locations of the Tribal Reservations are presented in Figure 4-1 and summarized in Table 4-1. Two additional Tribal Governments do not have federally recognized lands: 1) the San Luis Rey Band of Luiseño Indians (though the Band remains active in the San Diego region) and 2) the Mount Laguna Band of Luiseño Indians. Note that there may appear to be inconsistencies related to population sizes of tribes in Table 4-1. This is because not all Tribes may choose to participate in population surveys, or may identify with multiple heritages. 4.2 Cultural Groups Native Americans within the San Diego IRWM Region generally comprise four distinct cultural groups (Kumeyaay/Diegueno, Luiseño, Cahuilla, and Cupeño), which are from two distinct language families (Uto-Aztecan and Yuman-Cochimi).

  • Water, Capitalism, and Urbanization in the Californias, 1848-1982
    TIJUANDIEGO: WATER, CAPITALISM, AND URBANIZATION IN THE CALIFORNIAS, 1848-1982 A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Hillar Yllo Schwertner, M.A. Washington, D.C. August 14, 2020 Copyright 2020 by Hillar Yllo Schwertner All Rights Reserved ii TIJUANDIEGO: WATER, CAPITALISM, AND URBANIZATION IN THE CALIFORNIAS, 1848-1982 Hillar Yllo Schwertner, M.A. Dissertation Advisor: John Tutino, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This is a history of Tijuandiego—the transnational metropolis set at the intersection of the United States, Mexico, and the Pacific World. Separately, Tijuana and San Diego constitute distinct but important urban centers in their respective nation-states. Taken as a whole, Tijuandiego represents the southwestern hinge of North America. It is the continental crossroads of cultures, economies, and environments—all in a single, physical location. In other words, Tijuandiego represents a new urban frontier; a space where the abstractions of the nation-state are manifested—and tested—on the ground. In this dissertation, I adopt a transnational approach to Tijuandiego’s water history, not simply to tell “both sides” of the story, but to demonstrate that neither side can be understood in the absence of the other. I argue that the drawing of the international boundary in 1848 established an imbalanced political ecology that favored San Diego and the United States over Tijuana and Mexico. The land and water resources wrested by the United States gave it tremendous geographical and ecological advantages over its reeling southern neighbor, advantages which would be used to strengthen U.S.
