The objection to illegal immigrants has nothing to do with racism -- it's lack of documentation and lack of control.
I am sure you realize having a large population that essentially exists underground is not a Good Thing. Among other issues, it promotes crime, both through shielding the criminals within it and providing victims that are not likely to seek help from the authorities.
The second problem is the economic impact of large numbers of people fleeing to more prosperous countries (the motive 99% of the time), which is ultimately negative for the countries on both ends of such a relationship. That is why there are quotas and restrictions on legal immigration. The long term solution people need is viable economy in their home country.
