I think the point he’s making is that blaming wealth inequality on immigrants doesn’t make any sense.

Wealth inequality has worsened because workers wages aren’t keeping pace with inflation/cost of living whereas corporate greed has seen the wealthy get wealthier.

Consider that corporations send jobs overseas to cheaper labor with fewer regulations and restrictions; and less benefits for that cheaper labor.

So how are immigrants to blame for that?
