Hello, I have a recurrent dream that seems to stay with me all day after I’ve had it. It also seems to last the whole night (if that makes any sense); it feels like it’s a dream that’s been going on for ages when I wake.
All I can remember of it is walking around a town trying to find a street. There is ALWAYS a part in it where I walk up/or look up an ascending ramp to a really busy place (which I think is a food shop/restaurant) and there are lots of people milling around. I think I may have gone in there in one of my dreams but I don’t remember that from last night’s dream.
I remember being conscious of my son and husband being “out there” but they weren’t with me and I was walking around, for what seems like ages, trying to find one particular road, I know also that I am always stopped by a group of other people and I give THEM directions. So far I have always woken before I find my street. In some dreams I am using a map or GPS to help me find it.

I would be really grateful for any opinions. I have looked in books and online but I can’t tie this down.

Thank you.

I can’t even begin to count all the times someone told me to get a job when I was standing on an off ramp holding my sign or when I panhandle outside of a nice restaurant like Carl’s Jr. but when I did start to work the police go and arrested me telling me I can’t sell “illegal” substances
why they be telling me to get a job, earn your own way blah blah blah and then when I go make my own money they put me in the jail? how do them expect me to make moneys when they didn’t let me be a professional b-ball player and no one will produce my rap album and when I try to make a little green they go and bust me? momma say they done the same thing to my dad and he never come back because they hate him cause he so fly and smart

Fifteen people, including a pregnant woman, fled from the vehicle and were located and detained nearby at Arizona Mills Mall.

About an hour later, another officer attempted to pull over a pick up on I-10 near Ray Road, but the vehicle refused to yield. It continued to Chandler Boulevard, where it exited, with the driver heading the wrong way on a dirt road beside the freeway on ramp, Graves said.

Four people in the cab of the truck, including the driver, fled but were located and detained at a nearby Denny’s restaurant. Officers found 13 more people, including two juveniles, hidden beneath plywood panels in the back of the truck.

The driver of each vehicle is expected to face human smuggling charges, Graves said. The other suspects will be handed to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.

Identity theft linked to illegal immigration

Apr. 23, 2008 06:58 PM
McClatchy Newspapers

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Nobody likes getting a letter from the IRS. So imagine Amanda Bien’s reaction last Valentine’s Day when the agency wrote to demand $3,300 in back taxes.

For jobs she never worked. Five of them. In multiple states.

A Lenexa, Kan., Taco Bell. A Wendy’s restaurant. Two Target stores, one in California. The Engineered Air manufacturing plant in De Soto, Kan. Someone, somewhere, got Bien’s name and Social Security number and gave it a workout.

A 28-year-old illegal immigrant was later arrested at the De Soto plant and faces ID theft charges.

Though illegal immigrants aren’t the only ones stealing identities, cases like Bien’s illustrate the inability of disparate government agencies to tackle the problem.

While lawmakers in Washington debate ways to crack down on illegal immigration, the market for false documents and stolen Social Security numbers is booming.

Particularly vulnerable, authorities say, are legal residents with Hispanic last names. Or, as in Bien’s case, names that could sound Hispanic.

As politicians know and Bien is finding out, it’s a problem that defies easy solutions.

The IRS may suspect that multiple people are using the same Social Security number, but the agency doesn’t investigate ID theft. Local police and prosecutors cannot deport illegal immigrants they arrest.”I feel like nobody’s listening,” said Bien, 23, of Ottawa, Kan. “If this can happen to me, it can happen to anybody. And if we don’t do something about it now, what’s going to happen in 10 years?”

Federal estimates indicate that nearly 10 million Americans become victims of identity theft each year. Officials can’t say how many of those identities are being used by illegal workers, but prosecutors in Kansas say they see more cases of illegal immigrants using fake credentials every year.

It mirrors an increase in overall cases related to illegal immigration. The Kansas U.S. attorney’s office received 18 such cases in 1997; in 2007, the number was 106.

Experts expect the trend to continue, and they’re finding ID theft in surprising places. Last fall, U.S. prosecutors in Missouri charged five noncitizens with ID theft after they were found working in the Kansas City Federal Building’s cafeteria.”We know there are thousands and thousands of people working here who aren’t even supposed to be here,” said Brent Anderson, assistant U.S. attorney for Kansas. “There is rampant ID theft going on … and I’m afraid that given the situation we’re in right now, this is just the beginning.”
