I used to travel from France /Germany to the US for business about 10 times a year, and twice for holidays. It never was a pleasant experience at the border. Horrible in Chicago, barely tolerable in Phoenix. All of the people I discuss this with have the same opinion, so there is I believe a core problem with how people are welcomed to the US. I was one asked at the border why I will be staying for two days only (with an aggressive tone), to which I answered that I feel so welcome here that if I could squeeze everything in a few hours I would leave even earlier, not spending my money on local businesses. This cost me an extra hour at the airport but boy, it was worth it. No more Us travel for me before this "you are the enemy and we do not want you in the US" mentality changes.
