Presumably any UBI system would be limited to citizens only.

In combination with open borders, you do risk having a class system, where the citizens have money and immigrants don't, but at the same time, it solves the issue of certain jobs not being worth the time of someone who gets UBI (and therefore being for immigrants).

It's a tough balance for sure, and one of the main arguments against UBI (accidental creation of a class system).
