Jerry Pournelle's "Taxpayer / Citizen" divide, even to the point of "Taxpayer Islands!"

I think it's a bad idea to have a non-citizen "underclass," for numerous reasons that have been demonstrated throughout history.

However, it's certainly worth discussing the notion openly, instead of letting it happen the via fiat accompli "we didn't know there were that many migrants" methods currently being undertaken in many countries.
