"Dear Bishop Gerald Barnes,
I understand that the Spiritual and Corporal Works of Mercy are not optional. The love of Christ impels us to help the needy.
However, Mercy does not impel us to become accessories in crimes, not to be exploited by the coercive power of a lawless State. The resettlement of tens or hundreds of thousands of Central American people her is a crime, since both they (perhaps unwillingly, in the case of children) and the present Administration are breaking the reasonable laws of the United States regarding legal immigration, in a manner totally opposed to the Common God. And the present Administration is using this for partisan political purposes which are at odds with the Rule of Law in our country, and our citizens' well-being. I believe we mus fed the hungry when we see them, clothe the naked, and shelter the homeless.
I urge you to tell the authorities of the state that you will house and help these unfortunate Central American young people, only pending the reunification of their families VIA THEIR REPATRIATION TO THEIR COUNTRIES OF ORIGIN. Sincerely,

“must” rather than “mus”
I hope they get the point. Even if they take the “kids” now (some of which may be hard to handle) they ought to be pushing towards a return back home for them. Is this not also a God who turns the hearts of the fathers unto the sons and vice versa?
