Or they might resign themselves to letting a lot of people die, especially the poor and the old, and definitely the old and poor, but keeping their economy going.

Eugenicist in a grand scale.

Plus, they can always get illegal immigrant labour when needed.

Not really, no. Eugenics is selective breeding, or selective culling, where humans selecting traits considered desirable or undesirable chose who breeds or dies. This would be more of a massive don't-give-a-fuckery, leaving it to a natural agent to decide who lives or who dies.

Wouldn't by choosing this very route to take, that it can be interpreted as eugenics? as it is selected culling of certains people by letting the rest die.
