On a metaphysical level it conflicts with the idea of a nation and the virtues of loyalty and honor. Citizenship is a relationship with a people and a sovereign. On a far more practical level if citizenship is a cell phone plan it destroys the concept of any safety net. The people who are the largest net contributions should choose low cost plans that don't offer services they have no intent on using and the population that uses those services can't prop up their plan on their own. I know I would choose a plan without social security because mathematically it isn't benefitting me.
