Exactly

Quote of the day, from this news story:
“People come here because it’s better than the place they were in,” he said. “If that’s the case, you should be adapting yourself to our ways. We shouldn’t be adapting ourselves to your ways.” (emphasis mine)
It's high time this issue was discussed in clear terms, instead of smear terms. The vast majority of Americans don't oppose a system by which people may immigrate to the U.S. 'Racism' is simply an emotional charge to shut down opposition to uncontrolled borders. What those of us who care of the sustainability of America oppose is:

1) Letting people break and enter, but draw benefits anyway
2) Legally moving here, then demanding everybody provide service in a different language, in accordance with foreign customs, and so forth. Improving your lot in life usually requires work and adaptation. Deal with it.
3) Legally or illegally moving here, with a notion of remaking/"reconquering" America.

Reminds me of the old joke: what's the difference between a Yankee and a Damnyankee?
A Yankee is somebody who lives up North. A Damnyankee is a Northerner who moves South, then constantly tells their new neighbors how much better everything is up North.
