Nonsense, and you don't believe that either. Otherwise you'd be arguing for hard borders between US states to preserve their unique character. Border politics are drive by racism, pure and simple. You may not be racist, but you should look into the history around the politics of this and the extreme right wingers that back the various anti-immigration front groups.

Are you implying that wanting to have a border is a belief that is "basically racism"? What you are doing is stretching and expanding the word "racism", which doesn't do anyone any good because you are diluting the real phenomenon, you make free speech harder, because suddenly you call many more phenomenon "racist", you alienate a lot of people who would even agree with you otherwise - you are basically corrupting your language.
This is not a good thing for any cause, this is just a tool that is used in a political debate to try to win arguments through linguistical tricks, not through real arguments.

How did you come to know the underlying motivations behind millions of people's political beliefs? Are you sure you're not speculating?
