Alleging that someone is "xenophobic" takes far more substantiation than what that person stated in those few sentences.

I agree that there are "entire villages" in Mexico that are comprised of almost and only the elderly and young children. And that their "values" as a people (those villages amplified outward as a culture) are not those of our nation, the U.S., generally.

BUT, in relationship to this issue of sexual predation upon children, look no farther than poverty in any and all cultures that doesn't also provide good parenting. A lot of cultures are responsible for that, even some in the U.S., but the difference is that within the U.S., we DO have a culture that considers sexual predation particularly of children to be entirely and awfully offensive.

I can't speak for other cultures but it hardly defines someone as being "xenophobic" who reports about and responds to conditions in other cultures that are observable.

Thus, you're making a pejorative as to that allegation.

As to the rest you write, about FR and patriotism and such...we're all guests here, best to keep that in mind.
