I think part of the problem is that any localized UBI that doesn’t include everybody within an actual immigration border (ie the whole US, whole Schengen area, etc) will either 1. have adverse selection as people who want the UBI will move to go get it 2. need to means test somehow (eg live in the state for at least two years) and thus not be universal.

- daenz 5y agoWhat's more is that there appears to be a huge overlap of UBI proponents and anti-border proponents. So it is 100% a realistic scenario that any experiment should take into consideration.
