<i>&quot;Make basic income only available to US citizens. Congratulations, we have now fully devolved into a classist society&quot;</i><p>Do you honestly think that this is a fair description of the consequences of that course of action? There are plenty of things only available to US citizens. Voting. Running for office. Any kind of federal assistance. Military enrollment. Diplomatic protections.<p>I really don&#x27;t see how this option is anything different from what we already have. It would be federal assistance, after all, and non-citizens already don&#x27;t get that.
