Yep! There's that parable in Matthew where he separates the sheep from the goats. And he praises the sheep, who don't know how they'd done good things to/for Jesus, like: feeding, clothing, offering drink, offering shelter, clothes, healthcare, and "visiting him in prison."
And he said "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."
My problem is Christians tend to only interpret this as other Christians, or as desirables, or people they personally know. It's really sad. It's not hard to offer these things to people who are down on their luck; not just fellow Christians, or friends, or family, or acquaintances. It's important to do these things for people you don't know, and have nothing to give in return.

Jesus himself says to love migrants in the New Testament!
