There is more than one reason but yes-- destroying labor power/rights is a big one. Demogoguic would-be dictators always attack one or more outsiders. Whatever the politics but esp. fascist ones. All authoritarians will do this. Immigrants are the easiest target.
The Disturbing Reason Trump and Vance Peddle Lies About Immigrants
The influx of Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio is a success story, not a scandal. But when powerful people don’t want to share prosperity, they lie.

Let me stop you right there. We don’t want to just rein in ICE & DHS. We want you to dismantle the DHS and defund ICE completely. It’s not needed. It’s not wanted. Are you going to listen to the American people, your Dem constituents, and do what we ask? Or keep playing this old game where we lose?

When black women say that their biggest accomplishment last year was that they had a child and actually lived to raise them, they are not lying.
Alabama has the worst maternal mortality in the United States at 60 deaths per 100K live births. For reference, California has 18 deaths per 100K live births.
But Dr. Oz thinks it’s “cool” that American citizens do not have access to good reproductive healthcare in the wealthiest nation in history.
