When an alien resides with you in your land, you shall not oppress the alien. The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
(Leviticus 19:33-34)
Am I picking and choosing Bible verses to make a point? I didn't pick and choose. The link to the passage from Leviticus was right there in the Lectionary.
