The argument being pushed here (whether they themselves understand it or not) is basically that "seeing something a little bit to the right > leads a little more to the right > then even more to the right > NAZI!"
But it's not at all! Viewing racism as a left/right thing is wrong altogether. While it isn't obvious in US politics today, the left has often had a problem with race too.
Racism should be abhorrent to both left and right, and that should be independent of immigration views.
Which hilariously is a concept born almost exclusively out of modern leftist and current "_blank_ studies" thought/ideology.
Well actually Facebook has data showing this, so I don't think that's correct.
