Please stop imputing racism to other people with no basis. I have pointed out several reasons for opposition to illegal immigration that have nothing to do with xenophobia or racism.

Is everyone who believes in anything less than completely open borders a racist? You'd probably cry foul if I accused you of hating poor people just because you're a capitalist, so don't pull the same garbage against other people.

Why shouldn't everyone have the same opportunities that you do? Why are you so special just because of the place you were born?

Why should rich children have opportunities that poor children don't have just because they were born to rich parents? Does the poor child have the right to move into the rich child's house?

I don't believe rich children should have opportunities that poor children don't.

But I think you can at least make an argument in favor of economic inequality based on incentive and efficiency.
I don't see how any argument against immigration can be based in anything other than xenophobia.
