What about none citizens? Customs kicks you out or throws you into a camp first. E: but seriously, what happens to non citizens. What happens if you bring a burner/wiped phone? I assume digit forensics can confirm it was pre wiped but what's topping them from alleged you wiped on US soil.

So non-citizens should avoid visiting US. Got it

  That has been the case for a long while. I used to travel a lot for work - Serbia, Czech Republic, Germany, Portugal, Australia, NZ, Qatar, Kuwait, Moldova - but the only unpleasantness I received at a border/intl airport was on landing in the US, twice; NY both times. Talk about rude and aggressive, for no reason at all. I'm from the UK, by the way. My fondest border experience was many years ago when entering France; this was before the UK had joined the EU. (Our later exit was dumb, IMO.) Anyhow, a youngish officer - probably mid-20s or so - examined my passport while asking questions, in perfect English. His voice was even and his demeanour calm and professional. Then he took a step back, closed my passport and put it in his pocket. A few seconds later, he started laughing and said: "The look on your face. Priceless. Welcome to Paris." He really had me and I saluted him for that.

That famous phrase from the constitution, "all men are created equal, except the ones not born in America"

  The implicit "men born outside the US are not men" is arguable worse.

  The original you're riffing on is from the Declaration of Independence (a purely rhetorical document), not the Constitution of a decade later.

  The constitution says it is written to "secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity", actually.
