Anti-Immigration is not inherently racist
Being anti-immigration does not make you inherently racist or bigoted. Do not listen to anyone who says otherwise, as they are pushing an agenda to get rid of the natural worry that anti-immigration people have.
There is no problem with seeing that immigration can and may ruin civilization and society in several aspects.

There's a difference between illegal immigration and immigration, everyone should dislike criminals.
Anti-immigration stances are generally not based on rational thought but on prejudices towards "the others", and problems with integration being almost entirely systemic in nature rather than due to culture.

Just cause I'm a good host doesn't mean I leave my doors unlocked. Nobody wants strangers coming in and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ their ♥♥♥♥ up, that's not racism that's just self preservation.
But it CAN be.

And sin of thought is enough for progressives.

Who knew they could be so Catholic.
How does immigration passport system work anyway, can't they check them at the airport and follow them easily.

They can build super jets but can't they do this.

Not all the leftist that hate white people... So all racist are not anti immigration.
I would agree that it is not inherently racist, but inherent properties are not the only thing that matters. Conditional properties matter too.

That's not true either. If you're racist against the racial majority of a nation, then you want more immigrants of other races to offset and dilute that main race.
Being against illegal immigration is not anti immigration as well.

So being against illegal immigration certainly doesn't make you a racist.

That´s the problem with it. Like - You can´t be a free country and a police state with total control of the movements of the citizens at the same time. So the goal is to turn it into a police state with total control, while the people think it´s in their best interest. Which is when immigrants come in handy.

And if one is against it, because one could easily expand the system on anyone else who is doomed as "unwelcome citizen" if one disregards human rights anyways - it´s like a sin of thoughts is enough for a conservative.

It's good to establish that an apple is in fact a fruit.
It's all in how you express it. Which of course, starts in how you think about it. For example, in order of goodness:
  1. "I'm anti-immigration as I think we're very self-sufficient without needing to source labour from overseas, and I think residence and citizenship here should be harder to earn by those few granted the privilege to come here" - a reasoned take

  2. "Unchecked it will surely cause the downfall of our civilization and that frightens me" - an alarmist take

  3. "These days, you can't even call yourself [nationality/ethnicity]" - a Stewart Lee bit a nonsense take

  4. "The ethnic/religious group I don't like and refer to by dogwhistle/euphemism to avoid getting banned for this post are importing them from the third-world to pollute our genepool" - a racist conspiratorial nutjob take

  5. "Burn them all! Burn the migrant hotels! And set fire to the migrants too! Aieee!" - a violent take, please do not set fire to things or people

With 1 being good and 5 being the worst. We would do better as societies if anti-immigration debates used more of 1 and less of the others. We can handle a bit of 2, as well, emotions are fine even if they're irrational. Don't fault people for how they feel, talk about how they feel and why they feel it, instead of shutting them down for it. Even if it's irrational, or even bizarre.

Of course, as I am incredibly annoying, I will not follow my own advice there, as I like annoying people. But for the rest of you...

Okay, but what good is that information good for outside of avoiding the use of critical thinking?
Against illegal immigration = good
Against immigration = bad
That's going against the groupthink; you don't want to be labelled for going against the grain of popular society, do you? The social echo chamber 'loves' to have a bogeyman.

Remember, your heritage is a social construct – a conspiracy! Replacement migration is mostly 'only' reserved for Europe and its Anglo colonies.
