How exactly does the parable of the Good Samaritan relate to folks illegally crossing our southern border?

Besides, the Mexican Government sure isn't paying the room and board for these folks in silver or any other medium.

Nice try, but no cigar.

How exactly does the parable of the Good Samaritan relate to folks illegally crossing our southern border?

For a Christian, this parable explains more about what Jesus taught. According to Jesus we are to love our neighbor as we love oursleves. For Jews, this wasn't meant to love EVERYONE. So Jesus used the equivalent of a despised illegal alien (a samaritan) to demonstrate what kind of love he was talking about and what lengths we should go to.

Does our law on aliens allow for the kind of treatment Jesus says is our duty?
