I wonder why that is.

Maybe globalism is not so amazing for people living in a rich country. Its probably great for the government though. More tax income, more population.

In Sweden where I live, the government loves immigration for those reasons. We wont have enough old people to work and pay for pensions otherwise.

Crime has skyrocketed though. So I dont think its great for people already living here. But its about money.

    Yeah using immigrant labor to maintain economic growth isn't globalism. The US did that with you swedes after all well before globalism was a thing. Globalism is about keeping people where they are and exploiting them through neocolonial financial instruments while suppressing local industries and wage earners in higher income countries by turning their entire economic structure to be asset based and rent seeking.
