It seems to me that, for a UBI to pass, it has to address immigration. You cannot have a UBI and an open border... unless you restrict the UBI to citizens.

If you said to Democrats that they could have UBI, but only for citizens, would they go for that? Is someone who is a legal resident to be left to starve (or work 80 hour weeks to survive) just because they aren't a citizen? How about if they're an illegal alien?

If you said to Democrats that they could have UBI, including for non-citizen residents, but at the price of genuinely securing the border, would they go for that?

But the flip side might also be interesting. If you told Republicans that they could have a genuinely secure border, at the price of UBI, would they go for it?
