Another reason they choose to demonise immigrants is because they can spin rhetoric that energises the working and middle classes together, like a 2-for-1 deal.

They convince the working classes that immigrants are stealing their jobs and abusing benefits. They convince the middle classes that immigrants cause more crime.

They have influence over social media algorithms to ensure that each demographic gets the message that most infuriates them.

Finally, with all the hate stirred up, their chosen political allies/pets can make a promise to crack down on immigration and gain the votes for both demographics in one go.
