Here's where you're on shaky ground. Where exactly in Luke does it say the Samaritan was where he was illegally? Chapter and Verse if you please.

Reread what I wrote with emphasis on "equivalent".

You allege he used an "equivalent" of something which wasn't to happen for 2000 years hence.

So as I said your analogy is a false one. Neither the Samaritan or the man he aided were breaking any of Ceasars laws.

The Samaritan did the injured man a kindness out of his own pocket. He didn't demand that the Roman Government pay for it, nor did he demand that the Roman Government make the injured man a Citizen of Rome.

If you want to aid injured people with your own money, that is your right and your privilege. I'm sure the Lord will smile upon you.

But, don't go tossing around New Testament Scripture as if it somehow bolsters your belief that we should let all these folks cross our borders whenever they feel like it and then pay for whatever services they demand.It doesn't.
