The alien living with you must be treated as one of your native-born. Love him as yourself, for you were aliens in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.
Leviticus 19:34

Love does not mean to support criminal behavior..we can love the poor but to promote crime is just plain immoral. You cannot ignore the basic laws of G-d to promote this illegal insult.

“Do not take advantage of foreigners who live among you in your land. 34 Treat them like native-born Israelites, and love them as you love yourself. Remember that you were once foreigners living in the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God."
Tyndale House Publishers. (2004). Holy Bible : New Living Translation. "Text edition"--Spine. (2nd ed.) (Le 19:33-34). Wheaton, Ill.: Tyndale House Publishers.

Your exegesis of the passage is faulty in that it ignores numerous passages, which provide property rights, the rights of nations, and obligations to the law abiding.

But very different rules applied to hostile invaders (eg, Assyrians).
