That is silly. If you have something to add to American society and immigrate the Legal way then of course you are welcomed.
Why would we want anyone coming into America that is going to take advantage of our gullible generosity while turning into criminals that hurt citizens and LEGAL immigrants alike?
Why would we want these people coming in?
America has every Right to detain and question anyone coming into the country. Have you ever traveled abroad? It is a lot different in so many countries where they guard their borders and scrutinize everyone that comes and goes as they should.
What is it with some people that think America isn't worth protecting?
Imagine if a group of terrorists from Iran sneak across the border and make their way to Times Square to set off some bombs? The Left would blame Trump for failing to secure the border and for poking the hornets nest of Iran by giving them a reason to attack, as if they needed a reason beyond we are the infidels.
I wonder how a white straight fundamentalist Christian would be treated if they tried to enter Iran today?
If they were detained for a few hours, while having their heads examined, they should consider themselves lucky that they were not tortured and dragged through the streets.
You're trying to reason with people who've probably never been outside of a 50 mile radius of where they were born.
I travel internationally a lot and anyone can be detained at any country's port of entry for any reason, including US citizens re-entering the US.
No you are that in your little petty bigoted head. Keep hating, "1st class american". Ya'll hateful behind the keyboards, trumpsters, little cowards in real life.
People are detained at borders all over the world for all kinds of reasons.
And yes, it has happened to me despite being a white male, as if that matters. I was detained by US officials coming back from Canada. I had a DC drivers license but my car had Texas plates. Pulled me over and went through it like a cyclone. Can't say my unshaven appearance helped. They probably thought I had a ton of dope somewhere.
I cooperated and patiently waited. No harm, no foul. They were suspicious. It's their job to be suspicious.
Leftist rubes wake up one day and discover there are things called borders and the crossing points are staffed not by PhDs, but tough men and women tasked with scrutinizing thousands of people.
There is a difference between accepting detention at the border as a necessary evil in the name of national security and celebrating when American citizens are detained on the basis of their cultural heritage. I know this is a tough distinction for those who can only think in extremes.
Some of these basement dwellers on CD think your US passport is your magic ticket to fly through customs and immigration with zero hassling from CBP. ROFL
You maybe (keyword: maybe) get that if you are a member of Global Entry but it's not a guarantee.
Time to get rid of war-mongering politicians and get some peaceful ones....a little problem with that is military-industrial complex that has everyone bought up all the way to the top!

Yep. I wasn't stopped and my car searched when re-entering the US from Vancouver en route to Seattle in a rental car, but the people 4 cars ahead of me were. They had to pull over, get out, and wait in a secured area until the search of their car was complete. My rental car's plates didn't match my driver's license, but all I had to do was show Border Patrol my copy of the rental contract. NBD.
