Taking in Strangers

I see you on the street and you walk on by
You make me wanna hang my head down and cry
--Madonna

Individuals who voluntarily take strangers into their homes and care for them do so presumably for humanitarian reasons. They peacefully open their hearts to others because believe that it is the right thing to do.

Individuals who want to force others to take strangers into their homes and care for them are not humanitarians. They are oppressors, autocrats. They seek to impose their will on others thru use of threat of violence.

Perhaps this oppression is justified by use of some form of greater good accounting. Nonetheless, the principle of Do No Harm is violated.
