The parable of the good samaritan is easily understood as placing an obligation on Christians to act with unrestrained charity towards those in difficulty that they encounter personally, and to do so from their own resources.
It does not place an obligation upon Christians or anyone else to use the resources of the state (or put another way, other people's money, GP appointments, school places and the like) to offer material assistance to people with a debatable claim to it. Our Lord had the opportunity to create a broader, even national duty, to share resources with such people but he did not do so.
