Excessive reproduction isn't really a problem in countries with relatively high standards of living, lack of reproduction is closer to being a problem.

Illegal immigration wouldn't be a problem if the basic income were only provided to citizens. Especially if it meant that jobs paid considerably less.

The bigger problem is paying for it. Since workers wouldn't need to be paid as much, employers would be the likely targets. However, taxing by headcount would result in under-the-table employment. Taxing by income would be bad for companies with few employees as they wouldn't be able to take advantage of the savings.
