The world is overpopulated in places like India, China, and especially the "third world". It's not overpopulated in the high infrastructure/education/social and economic capital centers like the US and Western Europe.

There are plenty of people who want to migrate from the third world into the first. If you want more humans in the first world you can just allow migration.

There's no good way to filter immigration by cultural values. It's not just more humans in the first world, but more people with first-world values and education in the first world. (Yes, I think American/Western European/etc values are better than other places. If I didn't, I wouldn't have those kinds of values).

Depends on the value. At the moment there is a lot of immigration filtering by persistence.

Revised statement:

I can't think of a good way to filter immigration by cultural values
