This is why I won't visit the US anytime soon. Going through US immigration has always been stressful. In the past, a friend of mine was sent back after flying for 14 hours because immigration didn't believe that they were actually a tourist.

Recently, it seems to have gotten even worse.

It's not worth the stress for me personally, even if the real-world probability of getting detained or rejected is still relatively small.
