A populist take arguing working-class anger at immigrants is misdirected — the real fight should be against wealthy elites.

• The core claim: when you're angry at someone poorer than you, someone richer is usually manipulating you into it.
• Immigrants aren't the enemy — they're doing what anyone in their position would do.
• Bernie Sanders once opposed open borders, calling them a Koch brothers scheme to push wages down.
• The argument: cheap immigrant labor lets employers pit poor workers against even more desperate ones, keeping all wages low.
• The pitch is for workers to unite against the rich instead of fighting each other.

Outlook: Expect immigration and wages to stay a flashpoint, with populists on both left and right framing it as a class fight against elites.
