1) you are exaggerating his position - he has repeatedly said some not all. Unless you consider him saying they came here illegally (which they did) as saying all are criminals
2) racism isn't the right word here - illegal immigrants come from many different races. Call it xenophobia but racism is a stretch and is a loaded word.
The label matters little. It was a bigoted statement. Some people loved it. Yes, he backtracked somewhat, but he's still making similar comments.
