Well I have some anecdata for you. I personally know three people who have cancelled subsequent trips to the USA after their treatment on entry, and I personally will not be coming back after the way I was treated. I've travelled on business to over 30 countries, and thus is the first time I've decided that a particular one is just not worth the hassle.
So you keep believing everything is ok, I'm sure it makes you feel better, rather than actually listening to other people's stories.

What exact treatment happened? Somebody being rude to you at the border doesn't count, who cares about that? If you were detained, or interrogated, or something along those lines, then yeah you have a legitimate gripe. But I don't want to hear anything about "the security officer was rude".
- CarolineW 9y agoYou claim that people are not avoiding the country because of treatment received at immigration. I'm telling you that I know people who are avoiding the country, and I'm one of them. Don't tell me what I am and am not allowed to feel based on my experience.
- muninn_ 9y agoNobody says you can't feel anything. And nobody says that some people aren't avoiding the US because of how they were treated at immigration. What I am saying is that the vast majority of people have no problem. What was your poor experience?
