I think he was commenting on the fact that it was an Immigration Assistance Center. That’s the first thing that jumped to mind for me.

That said, it’s still technically possible. White people aren’t the only people who don’t like new immigrants, and not all Asian-Americans are 1st or 2nd Generation immigrants.

They shouldn’t arrest or deport this guy. They should send him to Iraq since apparently he can shoot if he wants to stay a citizen.

Ok, that would make sense.

When I first read it I figured he was speaking in general.

Reading it a 2nd time, I would agree with your assumption.
