Subject: May we bring about restorative justice for
migrants?
Dear Mr. President:
Will
those who follow us lament, knowing that we knew while acting as though we did
not know the children, teenagers, young adults, and elderly risking and
enduring grave dangers, imaginable distress to migrate to these lands, waters
and skies that we call United States of America? Will those who follow us lament, knowing that
we knew that migrants migrate to the United States of America to survive by fleeing
from: violence by political regimes and other gangs; crimes of genocide; war
crimes; war as crime; sex crimes; human trafficking; climactic calamities; environmental
contaminations; disease; agricultural nightmares; malnutrition; hunger; thirst? Who knows what other crime against
supernatural Law the migrant suffers? When
listeners hear, when observers see migrants migrating to and throughout America
due to breeches of International Law, and due to breeches of Federal, State and
Territorial Laws of the United States of America, what if -all that while- there
are equally egregious implementations of immigration policies and foreign policies? Will our children know Good immigration
policies and Good foreign policies had been created and implemented by and for
all People of their lands, their waters, their skies, their Planet?
In
our aftermath of crimes and other injustices against our Earth perpetrated by
former and current commercial enterprises, organizations, governments, heads of
state, and other individuals, may we make peace, make amends, bring about
restorative justice? After all, please…,
by legislation, enforcement, and adjudication of International Law, and Laws of
the Federal, State, and Territorial Governments of the United States of America,
will you now unite solidly with the people, statespersons, systems of government,
business enterprises, and not-for-profit, non-governmental organizations to channel
Good, to provide rescue, protection, counsel, advocacy, education, healthcare,
and political asylum for persons who had and will have migrated to the United
States of America?
Thank
you for your courage and good work throughout your presidency and previous
careers. May you profoundly improve the
lives of a myriad of people.
Sincerely yours,
Joseph Matthew Lynch.
