We worry about cheats and addicts as if they're the criminal scourge raiding our piggy banks. It aint so. Wage and tax theft, fraud, and abuse are greater issues by orders of magnitude than welfare theft, fraud, and abuse. Even more hilariously, welfare enforcement is top notch while successful cases against employers and corporate entities are relatively nonexistent and ineffective. The cheating welfare queen has never been anything other than an urban myth born of the need to dog whistle in slightly more genteel times than today. Even the individual issues this compound wedge are made up of don't pan out in reality. Tell me when a bunch of cokeheads crash the global markets and drug dealers in white coats create a national health crisis (all the while raking in record profits as they cheat of aforementioned taxes and wages) that a bunch of impoverished meth heads hanging out in a trailer on snap are the real problem...and do it with a straight face, if you can.
A ubi would do nothing to address those issues, the ones that are the source of immigrant labor working for "slave rates" in the first place.
