Oh you guys. If you come upon someone hurt, do you say to yourself “I must make sure this is a US citizen before I try to help.” Do you check for ID and an insurance card before administering first aid or calling an ambulance?
If you are not religious, fine, it doesn’t matter: be as cynical and xenophobic as you like.
Anyone who says they are Christian or advocates for a “Christian nation” should understand that the parable of the good Samaritan applies not only to individuals but Christians collectively.
Anyone who uses religious language to make themselves seem moral and righteous, but then says illegals don’t deserve healthcare, that person is a hypocrite. Don’t vote for them.

Eh, that parable is about how individuals are to behave, it doesn't apply to states. Also a true #Christian nationalist would be okay with if not in support of an apartheid state, with unbelievers being excoriated from society if not excluded from the country.

The nanny state. Doesn’t interest me.
Donate to the charity you want but don’t use my tax money for programs that wasteful and ineffective.

Ah yes. Unlike other politicians.
