Merlyn Dymally and Cesar Chavez urged President Carter to dismiss regional immigration chiefs for hosting Ku Klux Klan figures who aim to train vigilante border patrols. The group sided with San Diego officials opposing the plan, while Klan leaders touted patrols to deter illegal crossings, triggering protest from city and religious leaders.
