This page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_to_Switzerland seems to indicate the Swiss policy to be largely in line with the UK/EU one. Is that no longer the case?

Well, they did join the Schengen treaty, so cooperation between the police forces etc can be expected.
Maybe he's referring to the mainstreaming of nationalist/racist overtones in parts of their political spectrum
