Do you think that when Mary, Joseph, and little baby Jesus crossed into Egypt they were illegal aliens?
Deuteronomy 10:18
He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the foreigner residing among you, giving them food and clothing.
And there are zillions (wee bit exaggerated) of verses about loving, defending, working with, caring for the stranger among us. A great list is here.
Just wondering...

We are commanded, very simply, to show hospitablity to strangers, for by so doing, "ye entertain angels unawares." This was drilled into me as a child. NO ONE was ever turned from our door, with the one exception of a guy who pulled out a shotgun and aimed at my brother!

Too bad we can't remember this very simple thing.
