Those you describe have fallen for the lie of “social justice”, ie,
support this policy and you’re fulfilling your obligation of charity, without any personal sacrifice.
I think a more fundamental lie in that situation is the lie that government ought to become the instrument of things that historically were done by private churches and private Christians. You can be as generous to the down and out as you wish with your own dime, and God may bless you for that. It doesn’t mean we ought to turn America into a bloomin’ welfare state.
