It would be considered racist by most people since we know that most immigrants who would be affected are non-Europeans.
America's current mass immigration mess is the result of a change in the laws in 1965. Prior to 1965, despite some changes in the 50's, America was a low-immigration country basically living under immigration laws written in 1924. Thanks to low immigration, the swamp of cheap labor was largely drained during this period, America became a fundamentally middle-class society, and our many European ethnic groups were brought together into a common national culture. In some ways, this achievement was so complete that we started to take for granted what we had achieved and forgot why it happened. So in a spasm of sentimentality on the Right and lies on the Left, we opened the borders.
....Further, the Communist Party USA supported higher immigration on the grounds that it destabilizes working Americans.

Sure,because non Europeans are 90% of the world population.
Yet the cry of racism is becoming more and more hollow lately.
At least to me,someone who grew up in the Fifties when REAL racism was ubiquitous.
