Your plan involves selection, it's just not natural.

Well given that the human race’s fertility rate has been declining since 1950, and is no longer at a sustainable rate ~ finding employment for the younger generation's "success stories" is not a problem; having enough young, healthy and well educated "success stories" is now the greater concern!
Birth rates are on the decline ~ and it's a problem!

It sounds like one of those stories you can safely ignore: The U.S. birth rate has hit a record low, led by a big drop in the portion of immigrant women having babies.

Earth population may start to fall from 2040. Does it matter?
The conventional projection by the UN is that world population, currently 7.7 billion, will increase to 11.2 billion in 2100, then stabilise before slowly declining. However, current trends cast much doubt on this picture. Fertility rates are in dramatic decline worldwide and world population may peak below nine billion by 2050 and then decline.

I think someone forgot to tell the poor about declining birthrates. There's big money in procreating and welfare fraud. The Foster Care system is so flooded with children they can be murdered and the case workers are the last to know. But, okay. Keep dreaming...

Ask Raleigh or Blue Bean, half of everything in the Outback can kill anyone. It's the poisonous species capital of the world.
Saying people should have somewhere to live is not an imposition upon your delicate sensibilities. Pro-immigration policies are directly correlated with fewer wars, famines & recessions.

No s**t, Sherlock? I never would've guessed...
Yet there are still people living out there and not dying. Deserts are known for poisonous species, all deserts. Many of these people are desert dwelling individuals and are very used to checking bedding for snakes, scorpions, etc... You add a few more species to the warning education and Bob's your uncle.
