Another issue that leading to their downfall is their low birthrate. But you never see anyone talk about that. Instead, they want to blame others, and not themselves.
Your logic is a perfect example Argumentum ex Silentio and Diminished Responsibility.

So you end up with a world full of poor people. Now what do you do ?
Something else here: many of us here in the US, Europe, Japan and many other places back about 40 years ago had it pounded into our heads that having big families was nothing but trouble and, we took it to heart. Hell; even Mexico's birthrate is barely above replacement level in 2015 and, still dropping.

Might be in Mexico but the Mexicans here don't have any trouble with having 5-6 kids.
Should we do the same with the recent immigrants to our country? Where would we send them and who would replace them in our economy? Why would we want to send anyone away? Why should the Swedes?
I'm going to assume you mean how would we replace the illegal immigrant workers in the US.
The free market will take care of that problem. If the demand goes up, then the wages will have to follow.
I'ts simple. People are crying about how the minimum wage needs to be raised, this would help fix that problem.

A low birthrate doesn't lead to downfall, a high birthrate like the 3rd worlders leads to it overpopulation, poverty, crime, pollution, inflation etc.
If you want to talk about policy encouraging increasing birthrate, not that would necessarily be a good thing, then that's another issue.
If they are illegal they are not part of our economy. Who's economy are you talking about? The employers getting rich off illegals not paying workers comp or social security or insurance on them? Putting American Union people out of work?
Is that the economy you are referring to?
Punish those employers by getting rid of the illegal immigrants!
If the people in Western nations cannot afford to have children, then how can they afford to have refugees?
I thought overpopulation was supposed to have been a problem.
