Mexican laborers; the dream

After seeking godly counsel I feel that I was wrong to post the interpretation of my dream earlier and not post the dream also. This dream is about the Mexicans in our land, and is as follows;

My husband Dave and I were in our garage, which was extra large. Instead of there being a pantry, which Dave had built, it was a bare concrete floor. About 3 Mexicans were working in the middle and towards the large garage door. They were to build an addition upward, out of bricks. One solemn Mexican worker became the focus as he straightened out a metal leg that had been bent inward. It was on a short 4-legged platform on which all the bricks had been stacked. It had been stacked very high and I wondered if the platform had buckled under the load, or whether they should re-use it since it had been damaged.

Then I remembered having read on the news that 12 Mexicans had been killed when a tower of bricks fell over on them. Alarmed I shared this with my husband Dave and asked if this had happened to our workers. He didn’t know. We could see the 3 workers cleaning up the floor, but there were not any bricks.

The door to our back yard was open and there was a festive reception there. A blond well-nourished gay male waiter walked into the garage. I knew he spoke Spanish so asked him if he would ask the Mexicans if 12 men had died there. He said he could, adding that his Spanish wasn’t that good. He was busy, indifferent, and walked back out to tend to the party guests.

I walked outside to where the party was, realizing that the waiter probably wasn’t going to come back into the garage, and we wouldn’t have our answer. End of dream

Interpretation of symbolism;
our garage = part of “home”. Functional part, where maintenance and shelter take place
No pantry – no provision
Addition – needed so as to house more people
Mexican workers – the Mexicans have been doing labor in the south Western states, and elsewhere in our nation. They are part of our internal structure, providing labor for agriculture and other industries.
12 – government. The Mexican’s right to representation. This collapsed on them without even leaving a brick left to re-build their lives with.
Platform- people’s issues are represented on a platform. Theirs was unsupported, and therefore could not hold the pressures of the weight. The Mexican laborers often have poor pay & working conditions. Sometimes they are taken advantage of. And often they are treated like second-class citizens.
Language barrier – Spanish is taught as ESL, or English as a second language. This represents the Mexicans second-class treatment and is common to how other minorities have been treated. They have a similar “language” and we who have not been second class citizens would not understand them.
Gay waiter – a minority group. He should have understood the language of being treated as a second class person, but didn’t speak it well.
Party outside – people were interested in themselves, representing special interest groups. They would speak for their rights and interests, yet did not speak for others’.

End of interpretation

Aliens sojourned into Israel, just as the Israelites sojourned across the wilderness until they came to their promised destination. God asked the Israelites to treat them kindly, and Ezekiel 47:22-23 He instructs His people to give the aliens part of the inheritance and let them settle in the land among the tribes. I believe that the Lord gave this dream to show His heart towards the Mexicans in our nation. They travel here and live amongst us, yet do not have a fair life. Now their legal status is suffering an assault and they have no voice to speak of their own needs (or this is what will occur shortly). Rather than kicking the Mexicans out so that there is more to go around for those remaining (self-interested people), we should pray that the Mexicans can have their portion in our country.
