The billionaires want immigrants from poor nations because they're less likely to unionize or demand higher wages.
And they changed the meaning of middle class by calling well paid workers middle class, so the working class is divided and these well educated and high paid workers are less likely to organize with the low wage workers against the interest of the billionaires.
The old meaning of middle class is wealthy people who make money from capital but have no noble title, aka the bourgeoisie. If you have to work to make a living then you are in the working class doesn’t matter if you earn 6 figures.
