Suffolk County Executive Steve Levy says it included such phrases as "Latinos go home," "Get out of the USA," and "leave or die."
Dan Aug, a spokesman for the county executive, says it is not clear who was the intened target of the graffiti. He says the strip mall has several Hispanic-owned stores but that the graffiti did not appear on any of those businesses.
Aug says the writing is being investigated as a hate incident of making graffiti.
