Immigration and the Parable of the Good Samaritan

Someone on Facebook used the Parable of the Good Samaritan to justify all the illegal immigrants coming over the border and the necessity of our government to care for them. I responded with this...

"The primary point of the parable was to expose the hypocrisy of the Pharisees. Of course we are instructed to do good to all but even Jesus said we would always have the poor and it certainly was not his mission to make everyone materially rich. If the good Samaritan acted like the USA he would be inviting all the poor over to his home and would soon be overwhelmed. Similarly the USA cannot be responsible for all the poor of the world."
