Here is the accurate and more complete quote from his book:

“Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific assurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

Since this IS America, of course he's entitled to THAT interpretation of this issue. However WITH that interpretation and given THAT stated intention, he could NOT have honestly or sincerely take his oat of office and consequently has absolutely NO business in the WH.
