Worth reading the whole quote, the article goes right to it.
Counting people here illegally is admittedly a challenge but Pew thinks there are about 11M undocumented immigrants from anywhere. Meanwhile there are about 60M Hispanics in the US including citizens and legal residents of which about 20M were born elsewhere.
He sounds like he's either conflating all foreign born or more likely yet just making up a scary number.

What does he think white Americans are? North America was doing just fine before the Europeans came.
So now he's in favor of diversity?
No, he's willing to tolerate different shades of skin as long as everybody lives and speaks and votes and in every way acts how he wants.
I doubt he's that open-minded. He's one bottle of whiskey away from suggesting concentration camps for minorities and "woke" people
He's in favor of diversity as long as you make a big deal about it with a dog whistle. Like when you tell people that your wife obviously isn't white.
I think he's more on the removing them side of things
