As a Christian, however, you are called to help out and feed him and give him water (whether you turn him in, however, is up to your conscience). Regardless, helping him physically might be against the law, but it is what we're called to do.
Or to the point we're going to get in this country where euthanasia and abortion will be considered mandatory (as a method of population control). A good citizen will comply while a good Christian will refuse to do these things.
In the United States - as any other country - the two (citizen and Christian) often come in conflict with each other.
Never wrap your Christianity in any flag.
Nowhere does it say you cannot feed and water a person before you turn him in!
God Bless America, again.
