Matt 15:26 — He [Jesus] replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to their dogs.”

When they, invariably, bring up that Jesus granted the request the woman had made [see all of ch 15] reply that it was not because she wanted to take the Children’s [rightful] food, but only to take that which they did not [in their plenty] care for. IOW, she respected Jesus’ place of authority and position as being sent to the Jews, yet appealed to Him on those very grounds... that she would not ‘take’/steal what Jesus could give, but that Jesus could give more than they could take/’want’.

[And yes, I can tell that people will be offended by the analogies.]

And clueless evangelical ministers as well as parish priests

Anyhow, at most this isn't urging the Christian to make his NEIGHBOR take care of the stranger. This is urging the Christian himself to do what he personally can.

Now that lady Democrat belly-ached about a lawyer who got treated 3 times at the emergency room, and health care reform would have saved him, big dis-connect
