You can give every family on the planet Earth their own acre of land in the USA, (with still some land left over,) and the rest of the entire Earth would be empty.

Is it that the Earth is overpopulated? Or is it really just mismanaged?

It is not our fault that certain regions of the world have population issues.

Nor should we import those problems here.

I would agree except for the one thing... show me the first world population that is overpopulating.

Many of the first world populations, loaded down with their fuckup burden, are in real population decline. Perhaps that decline is a natural effect to bring their populations back into natural balance with the required break even level of productivity, or something, (too many fuck ups.)

Regardless, it is true. Overpopulation is not a first world phenomenon. When life becomes middle class, for whatever reason, people seem to stop having large families. It's not just us. Japan is doing it too. In Russia, they are paying people to have more kids.

We had just the right amount of people before they offshored all of the manufacturing jobs. The labor surplus was artificially created, and did not come about as a result of run away population growth.

Yes, you're correct, Europeans have naturally self-regulated to the point of dropping below replacement level, and they are definitely propping up the rest of the world's job markets, but note that this isn't just about labour, and the problem wouldn't be resolved by having each native usefully employed (though this obviously is a noble goal in itself).

Northern Europeans trend towards cooperation and helping the less fortunate - great survival traits when you live in a frigid rainy shithole, but now? No matter how big of a fuckup a European child is, they will probably survive to breed successfully, and you end up with the same general problem:

A: You have two kids and they definitely survive no matter how big a fuckup they are. B: You have ten kids and the eight biggest fuckups die.

It's not nice, but B makes populations stronger, while A makes populations weaker, and the beta fuckups getting produced aren't cutting their own balls off quite fast enough to prevent it.

Now, you're a long way away from becoming African tier where only the top 15% of their bell curve isn't retarded (at least through natural processes, our friends in charge are trying to speed things up), but that's the direction Europeans are going, and they're propping up exactly the same problem everywhere else by exporting their superior technology so even Africans are devolving.
