"Surely only citizens would get basic income?" At first? Probably. Eventually? No. It is too ripe of a target for pandering politicians.

"Surely only citizens would get basic income?"
At first? Probably.
Eventually? No. It is too ripe of a target for pandering politicians.
- _0ffh 10y agoYou mean politicians pandering to non-citizens who do not have the right to vote?
- marcoperaza 10y agoPolitics isn't a one time game. Those people become citizens, and their children are born citizens.
- MrZongle2 10y agoWho says they won't have a right to vote by then? Some panderers have already tried to change that: http://nypost.com/2016/02/22/new-bill-could-give-illegal-aliens-voting-rights-in-new-york-city/ http://nypost.com/2016/02/22/new-bill-could-give-illegal-ali... Additionally, they might not be directly pandering to the non-citizens, but to advocacy groups and their supporters. Lastly, I think the chances of politicians pandering to non-citizens are at least somewhat greater than basic income being implemented in the United States. So there's that to chew on.
