      abstract = {Starkly shot in black and white, this multi-festival film  captures the unabashed xenophobia of a number of Americans  living in California along the U.S.-Mexican border. They  are reacting to the influx of undocumented aliens, who they  believe are draining community resources and committing  crimes. Nativist organizations have been formed such as  "Light Up The Border" which masses cars along the border  with head-lights blazing at possible intruders.The film  critiques the nativist position by contrasting the  professed love of country with racist and anti-democratic  attitudes. One white-haired couple advocates  machine-gunning down a few at the border as a warning.  Other residents complain that "the illegals bring drugs and  disease, multiply like rabbits, fill up the jails, and go  on welfare."A closed captioned version is available on vhs  only. Please specify when ordering.},
