I don't really think nationality means anything at all to The almighty creator. I'm more inclined to think that He would want us to have a welcoming and gracious heart to everyone, including outsider.
The Samaritan and all that...
Not exactly true. The Samaritan was a citizen as well as the guy he helped. The OT taught there were three kinda of people, a citizen a legal immigrant who had the rights of citizenship and the foreigners who dis not have the same rights as citizens. The NT taught that it was the governments job to protect it's citizens and enforce the laws
It also taught us to be kind and not mistreat people. In essence we should enforce our laws and send them home, but we shouldn't mistreat them while doing so.
