Would you elaborate why? (without being vague) I assume it's not common sense just because you did it? Issues with border patrol can happen in any country. If they have bad mood, or you suddenly decided to piss them off, they will do their best to make your life harder. The US is not the best or worst to that matter. People who chose working as border patrol are not the smartest people out there (otherwise it is unlikely they would choose working at border patrol). So I understand all precautions but saying its "common sense" not traveling there is a huge stretch IMHO.

The news is full of stories where random travelers are detained for multiple weeks on the US border. I don't want that in my life. As simple as that.

  Would you share a link or two? Even what you say is true, I doubt those travelers were random ones

      Thank you for the links. The first case is a woman who get her visa cancelled, then she engaged in some shady scheme to get entry permit, which was spotted by ICE. In ANY other country it will likely cause detention. Rest of articles state vague cases of travelers being sent back home at US border. Again nothing new here, at every country it up to border enforcement to make final decision regarding entry. Its nothing but regular "treatment". If you don't want this - that's certainly your choice, but I really would like to hear about cases where legitimate travelers are thrown into detention centers and kept there for weeks. Something tells me there is no such stories, but I would still like to see the evidence.
