One problem not called out in any UBI arguments I've read, including this one, is how we even consider this while also arguing about how poorly our borders are managed.

Borders only become a problem when there are incentives to simply being in a country, welfare programs. I'm not saying we should abandon all entitlement programs and open the borders, but it does seem shortsighted to create an even larger entitlement while our borders are such a mess.
