Matthew 25: Do we go to hell for not feeding the hungry?

If you are in favor of building a wall on America's southern border, will you go to hell? It seems some within the evangelical community believe that.
There appears to be a growing movement among evangelicals to embrace a leftist interpretation of the Bible when it comes to "progressive" issues like immigration reform. This is clearly the case with a new video, titled "I was a stranger." It features various Christian women reading Matthew 25:31-46, where Jesus speaks of the separation of the sheep and the goats.
The video was produced by World Relief, in partnership with the National Immigration Forum, an organization funded by globalist George Soros. According to the Capital Research Center, World Relief is a "refugee contractor" that is paid taxpayer dollars to re-settle refugees and asylum-seekers inside the U.S. The CRC documents how foundations and other nonprofits often raise money for charitable causes but then use the money to "get involved in politics and advocacy, often in ways that donors never intended and would find abhorrent."
According to the CRC, these groups, including World Relief, discuss issues like immigration and the plight of refugees "in terms of pure altruism, generosity, and welcoming the stranger." But World Relief and others fail to mention in their fundraising efforts that, "by generously welcoming strangers to our land, [World Relief] can receive bountiful subsidies of tax dollars that underwrite hefty salaries for persons who claim to act only from the most selfless motives."
As I have already dealt with a biblical approach to the immigration issue here, let me get to the actual issue that led to this column: The World Relief video promotes an unbiblical view of salvation as works-based, rather than as based on faith in Jesus Christ.
The clear message of Matthew 25:31-46, according to the video and leftist evangelicals, is that people who do not feed the hungry, give water to the thirsty, clothe the naked, visit those who are sick or in prison, and especially welcome immigrants and refugees to America are going to hell. Why? They argue that, because Jesus lives in the suffering people of the world, if you do not care for these people, you're not caring for Jesus. The result is an eternity in flame-filled torment.
