Do you think it is racist to not want waves of low and no skilled people that will be a burden on social programs, are often illiterate in their own language and speak none of yours, love their own culture, often despise your culture, and will likely never assimilate?
Rich people implement virtu-signaling policies that ONLY the poor will suffer the consequences of, and they better pretend to like it, or they'll be called racist haters. What's not to like?
I don't doubt there are racists, everywhere, but let's keep in mind, we are talking about a country that was almost solely responsible for the eradication of slavery in the western world, so I think it a little suspect to assume half of them hate brown people.
