Here's the thing: My answer to your question is a "I would not"; however, the key here is that my "no" is not a response to the opportunity to help them, but it's a "no" to the level of burden placed upon me as an individual. We would better meet the needs of such people through a more collaborative approach than me just taking someone I've never met before and who may or may not have all kinds of health complications that are needing to be attended to, because I as an individual have very little carrying capacity relative to a collective. So I believe we should try and develop social systems that accommodate this evolutionary pressure. It's "No" because it's inefficient--ethics can be completely ignored here.
So you wouldn't be the change you wish to see in the world?

"Few VA hospitals"
They're one of the largest networks in the world
This is true, but are really quite underfunded.

The only way we'll control our breeding is to pull the rest of humanity up out of abject poverty.
