2 Thessalonians 3:10
Good Samaritanism is meant to be an act of compassion: finding someone beaten on the side of the road, helping or getting them help. It's not meant to be a lifetime commitment. By all means, help someone. I give the homeless guy money, when I have it to spare. But we don't have a set up where he meets me every Friday for his weekly donation.
Mark 10:13-16
13 People were bringing little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them, but the disciples rebuked them. 14 When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 15 Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” 16 And he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on them and blessed them.

A) that photo has nothing to do with the verse you connected it with.
B) as I suspected and found after a little digging:
"The truth behind this photo of an 'immigrant child' crying inside a cage
(CNN) — A photo of a little boy crying in a cage is being shared on social media as seemingly another heart-rending byproduct of the White House's "zero tolerance" immigration policy, which separates undocumented parents and kids at the border.
There's only one problem: The picture is being completely taken out of context -- and does not show what it is purported to show."https://www-m.cnn.com/2018/06/18/us/pho ... gle.com%2FMultiple sources have debunked this photo.
And I found other similar photos being debunked.
It seems to me when subterfuge is resorted to the real problem is not bad enough to invoke the kind of reaction being sought.
And there has be a ton of outright lies cranked out regarding ICE facilities.
Like OAC lying about people drinking from toilets.
If the situation is really as bad as is being made out why so much lying?
Answer: Because it is not really that bad.
