Re:The Libertarian Case for a Basic Income by AnthonyMouse on Thursday December 05, 2013 @01:39PM (#6856200)
There is a simple solution to this: An immigrant can become a citizen but doesn't receive the basic income until they have been here for 25 years, but also doesn't pay income tax until the amount they would have paid in tax exceeds the amount they would have received from the basic income. Thus, the immigrants who would have been a drain on the system become breakeven and net productive immigrants see no difference in practice from any other citizen.
