manger because they were poor. They weren't hiding out. Joseph was a carpenter and they had a house. There wasn't room in the inn and there is zero indication they couldn't afford one. They actually tried to rent a room.
Moreover, once the 3 wise dudes showed up, Christ received gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
"When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh." Matthew 2
The born into poverty narrative is patently false.
