FWIW, I read the parent comment as sarcasm, not a serious proposal of xenophobia.

I think the parent comment was saying that being against those policies will get you branded as a xenophobe. The tone was meant to elicit sympathy.

My interpretation was that the parent commenter is against some aspect of immigration employment policy, but does not think that constitutes xenophobia.
