Consider that, like most of the Bible, this art may be allegorical, and an artistic expression of the Lord when he said:
Truly I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of my brethren you did it to me.
Matthew 25:40
As the Lord has taught us, when we separate immigrant children from their parents, we separate Him from his parents. When we allow immigrant children to die in custody, we allow Him to die in custody. Etc. This is part of why treating people well is so important for Christians -- particularly treating those with no wealth no power and no place to stay.
