Not at all. Opposition to immigration is rooted in practical matters, not “hate.” For example, loss of political control—both liberals and conservatives like immigrants who vote the way they do, and dislike immigrants who vote the opposite way: https://www.cato.org/survey-reports/e-pluribus-unum-findings..., specifically: https://www.cato.org/sites/cato.org/files/styles/pubs_2x/pub...

I’m a very obviously brown guy and happen to be an immigrant. Up until 2016 or so, most of my encounters with racism had been from homeless people. But in the last few years that’s quickly been overshadowed by white liberals getting angry that I don’t want to be part of their “rainbow coalition.” (And that has been over further overshadowed by well meaning white liberals acting really weird.) Despite living in a Trump precinct I have yet to encounter any racism from a Trump voter.
