As for open borders? Probably not going to happen until almost everyone else also has open borders and UBI (i.e. it's a chicken & egg problem). Otherwise the first nations to have both will probably face immigration overload and attract all the wrong kinds of people.
- dragonwriter 11y agoIf you have UBI for citizens and green card holders but fairly open non-immigrant visa process, and no fast-track process for non- immigrant visa holders to get immigrant visas, I don't see a big immigration draw (indeed, probably less than in the current system even with restrictive visa rules, since non-immigrant visa holders with the same nominal salary as citizens or LPRs would have less total income by the amount of the UBI.)
