R. A.. and the only ones who were benefited were the rich people. There is no need why the Mexican laboring class should be afraid of being deported to Mexico. because the Government has no right to deport them." Jacobs then paid his respects to the immigration officials of the United States: "Whenever one of these socalled immigration officers. or other officer. call you in the street and tell you that you are wanted in his office you have a right to demand a warrant of arrest. Many people are arrested without warrants. and that is not right. We should organize for the purpose of sending a committee of about 20 or 30 or more to the immigration official that has arrested one of our own. He may get scared. and this committee can report him to Washington. and for that reason he may turn our comrade loose." Jacobs then scored the Laredo Times as being not in sympathy with the laboring classes and for failure to put labors side of the question in its news columns. "Take the recent building strike in New York for example. The Times had only short accounts under small headlines". he declared.
