Not to suggest that this isn't xenophobia, nor that the subject can be summed up this succinctly, but there is something to be said for a culture not wanting to be swept away or squashed by others. As with pretty much everything else, there's middle ground.

but

No "but," it's plain xenophobia, no debate about it.

Miss that part, did you? Also, nothing is "plain" anything. Expand your view one bit and see the world for the complex place it is.

I think there's no middle ground when the answer is isolation instead of trying to integrate foreigners into the local culture.

Of course not. "Middle ground" necessitates effort on both sides. I just think it's worth bringing up when that word starts getting tossed around. It's easy to create hard lines when it gets used.
