Maybe not. Likewise, white people in the south didn't have any issue with black people. It's just that they prosecuted black people for their crimes, while not prosecuting white people who committed crimes against black people.
This is why we think a "strong border" is racist: because you give it far, far, far more importance than it actually deserves. As we have repeatedly noted, immigration is not only good for America, it's necessary for America. Moreover, what problems might be created by "illegal" immigration are tiny and much less severe than other problems that you folks like to overlook. Then you give purportedly race-neutral explanations, except none of those explanations hold water. That you cling to your animosity against crossing of the southern border despite the falseness of your claims about it -- it's evidence of irrationality. I suppose it's not necessary to infer racism from irrationality, except that racism is frequently the most common type of irrationality.
For instance: immigrants commit crimes less often than natural born citizens. So the anti-crime explanation is complete bullshit. We've gone through this before, and you've tried to disagree with arithmetic. Well, when you are fighting basic math, then your position is irrational and we have to ask, "why is this guy fighting basic math?" Why is he acting on this issue completely differently than he acts on any other issue? Like, does this guy think lettuce is fattening because it has positive calories, even though its calories are way less than, say, hot dogs? That's your logic on immigration.
Another way of asking the question: why not raise the caps or in fact eliminate them? We don't have to offer welfare to non-citizens, and if we don't, nobody will come to the US looking for handouts. Why isn't that a better solution than a wall? Of course it is. There's no argument for a wall except irrationality, and gee, why ever would we think that the GOP are racist?
