What could Bannon possibly have meant by this besides wanting to deport them en masse?
Mass deportation is ethnic cleansing, in case you didn't know.

Talking about ethnic cleansing
I don't really follow. Nowhere does he talk about "mass deportation" or "ethnic cleansing" or anything even closely related.
Bannon disagrees that we should keep the talented people in the country, but he doesn't want to say it to Trump's face, so he says a bunch of code words for "whites only society."
There's only one way to make a whites only society. It's ethnic cleansing. Trump happens to have already brought discussions of mass deportation to the mainstream.
Mass deportation is a type of ethnic cleansing, by the way. It's right in the definition. There is no leap of logic there.
As an aside, Bannon is significantly overstating the percent of CEOs who are Asian.
The furthest you can take his words is that he is of the opinion that the government should do something about there being a disproportionate amount of non-American born in SV power. There are lots of ways he might think that might be corrected, some of which are not even unfair or racist. To assume the very worst is not constructive.
Your choice of vocabulary says something about your opinions, as well.
Enlighten me. How else would he go about changing the demographic makeup of anything besides ethnic cleansing?
I didn't see the quote where Bannon said that the effects would take too long.
Also, according to former associates, Bannon is "sinister", "vindictive", and willing to "kill everyone else." Naturally he gravitates to radical solutions over moderate ones. http://www.dailywire.com/news/8441/i-know-trumps-new-campaig...
Voters react to laws that are passed, not only to their effects.
I guess the hardest thing is being aware of your own bias.
Of course, Bannon and the facts do not have a good relationship at all.
Of course he will gravitate towards radical "solutions." He wants to do a lot more than force hiring practices on companies.
