It depends.
It would be racist to oppose immigrants from Sudan whilst welcoming those from Ukraine.
In my opinion, it is not racist to oppose illegal immigration per se. Especially if those immigrants would benefit from a social system that you pay into.
It is wrong, however to blame the immigrants, as it would be the system that is the problem.

No. And I am tired of people assuming I'm racist for not wanting idiots coming over in small boats from france
While I don’t know your racial euphemisms, “small boats” raises red flags. Maybe it’s not racist, but ….

No.
You just don't want illegal immigrants. Forget skin color for a second, you could still have an illegal white immigrant and still oppose them.
It just happens to be that a majority of immigrants are not white, and that's the crux of the issue imo

The crux of the issue is that they're not white? How is that not racist?
