Leviticus XX was delivered by Moses in the Sinai wilderness. “Foreigners” here meant anyone who willingly submitted to Israel covenant law without being of Israel lineage. It does not imply anything about illegal immigration because there were no borders involved and certainly no government structure or benefits. Leviticus also had quite harsh punishments for people who did not submit to God’s word, including allowing parents to execute a rebellious child. So being a “foreigner” who stayed would have required complete assimilation, surrender to Yahweh, and pulling all their weight. The rest of the Old Testament talks about what happens when non-culturally-aligned foreigners take up residence inside a sovereign nation, and it’s not pretty. Romans XX unambiguously commands all Christians to submit to the law and says that all government authority is God-granted.
