Inclusion here means including all people or possibly including all of those people. The person speaking is essentially expressing a prejudice ("those are not my people") while attempting to come across as unprejudiced ("I am all for inclusion"). It's a nice example of how English can be used to express unpleasant sentiments in disguise :)
