Mexican US Immigration Word

Greetings in the Lord!

Today's word comes from Isaiah 29:8-26 and is a word about the current Mexican-US Immigration struggles. I will take excerpts from the entire scriptural passage the Lord gave since it is so long:
V 10-11) "They (Mexican workers/immigrants) will neither hunger nor thirst, nor will the desert heat or the sun beat upon them. He who has compassion on them will guide them and lead them beside springs of water. I will turn all my mountains into roads, and my highways will be raised up.
V 13-15) Shout for joy, O heavens; rejoice, O earth; burst into song, O mountains! For the Lord comforts his people and will have compassion on his afflicted ones. But Zion said, 'The Lord has forsaken me, the Lord has forgotten me.' Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you!
V 19-21) Though you were ruined and made desolate and your land laid waste, now you will be too small for your people, and those who devoured you will be far away. The children born during your bereavement will yet say in your hearing, 'This place is too small for us; give us more space to live in.' Then you will say in your heart, 'Who bore me these? I was bereaved and barren; I was exiled and rejected. Who brought these up? I was left all alone, but these--where have they come from?'

V 22-23) This is what the Sovereign Lord says: 'See, I will beckon to the Gentiles, I will lift up my banner to the peoples; they will bring your sons in their arms and carry your daughters on their shoulders. Kings will be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers. They will bow down before you with their faces to the ground; they will lick the dust at your feet. Then you will know that I am the Lord; those who hope in me will not be disappointed.'

V 24-26) Can plunder be taken from warriors, or captives rescued from the fierce? But this is what the Lord says: 'Yes, captives will be taken from warriors, and plunder retrieved from the fierce; I will contend with those who contend with you, and your children I will save. I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh; they will be drunk on their own , as with wine. Then all mankind will know that I, the Lord, am your Savior, your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.'"

~Along with this scripture I had two dreams of driving around in the desert on "raised highways," easily getting to and from cities in the middle of the desert. The strange thing was that in these cities were beautiful gardens and flowing fountains, and families all around speaking to each other in strange accents, but still being able to communicate and love on each other as like at a family reunion. I discern that, along with the scriptural word, that the Lord is going to grant some sort of citizenship, or at least a 'free-work' agreement, to be passed in our nation's government, whereby Mexican people who want to work and /or live in the United States can do so. Then, these workers will be able to go back to Mexico and bring up their families, many of whom had been separated from them for a long time, and bring them back to the United States if they want, or buy land/houses in Mexico and travel freely to and from the United States. At any rate, the Lord wants to reunite their familes and free them from their "economic captivity" of working for unjust wages with no medical benefits or workers' rights. "Yes, captives will be taken from warriors, and plunder retreived from the fierce; I will contend with those who contend with you...."
It will be interesting to see how the many U.S. businesses that have been cashing in on this "captive labor" will react when the Lord has His way..."Then you will know that I am the Lord; those who hope in me will not be disappointed." Amen and amen.
