Oh the old testament is quite clear: Thus says the Lord: Do justice and righteousness, and deliver from the hand of the oppressor him who has been robbed. And do no wrong or violence to the resident alien, the fatherless, and the widow, nor shed innocent blood in this place.

Jeremiah 22:30

And the new is no different:

You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

Matthew 25:40

Correction I copypasted the wrong new testament verse reference from a large collection on things the bible had to say on strangers. Both are old testament, but the list is long and very clear in the new testament too.

I'm not Christian but I'm fixing to get a sign that says Matthew 25:40 and put it over my front door.
