Michigan Crowd Boos McCain on Illegal Immigration
Sen. John McCain of Arizona, winner of last Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary, drew cheers and jeers from an audience of over 500 conservative activists in Michigan over the weekend

Globalism, he told the audience, is not going away. “Some jobs that have left Michigan aren’t coming back, and the answer is not to create false hopes that we can bring back lost jobs — but to create new ones,” McCain said, to a stony silence.
McCain, who engaged the audience in a lengthy Q&A period, drew howls of protest and boos when he expressed support for allowing most illegal aliens to stay in the United States and when he opposed against any form of protectionism.
In that, his open-borders stance is totally consistent with his notion that “globalism isn’t going away” (i.e. he really wants it to stay) and thus “protectionism” should be opposed. The globalist that doesn’t want any restrictions on the free flow of goods between the fictions formerly known as national borders would no more want restrictions on the free flow of people between the fictions formerly known as national borders.
