What does getting crowded have to do with sending off interstellar
spaceships? Unless you're arguing that your aliens say "quick! if we
send off 0.00000000002% of our population, everything will be fine",
you really need some more explanation. Shipping vanishingly tiny
fragments of your population away at great cost isn't a solution to
crowding problems.
The more people there are, the more people will be nuts enough to be
willing to move to another planet.
