First thing I thought when reading this was his immigration status. Another dreamer?
Hopefully he will have plenty of time to dream as he stares through the bars on the window of his cell, if Gail Hardy's crew does their job. If not there is always Mike Gustafson and the Feds to do their jobs and get some enforcement for us.
