I used to travel all over the world from mid 90's to late 00's. Including about once a month to the US from Europe and Asia. I am French, white, blue-eyed, it was business travel in business or first class. I never understood why the US border was so hostile to visitors. Equal to the Russian border if not worse. The US used to be an immigrants country, built by these immigrants. So why the hostility against foreigners? Their parents or grand parents were in the same spot, usually way worse wealth-wise. Middle East entries were the best - sometimes slow, chaotic but always enjoyable. Europe was with bored agents who did not give a shit. After one last trip my children begged for (the landscapes in the US are indeniably wonderful) I stopped going to the US, mostly because of a vague fear of being arrested for no reason. I felt like in a dictatorship country (but worse than in the ME where there predicability). In Europe you can get in trouble, but it is soft. You have to fight the bureaucracy but that's more or less all.
