> As long as you feel the benefits outweigh the downsides the only person you can complain to is yourself. You're still going there aren't you?

I disagree with this line of reasoning.

It is fully valid to complain about injustice and unfair policies. It's not a binary choice between complete avoidance and submitting to some arbitrary humiliation.

I might also add that you are speaking from a position of considerable privilege. Many of those who choose to emigrate to the US don't have as easy of a choice as yourself, in that they may hail from less friendly countries of origin.



You are correct.

Sometimes the choice is between risk of "secondary screenings" in the US and high chances of harm and hostilities in the home country.

And maybe you just want or need to visit the US, most likely for business reasons. Still, I spent my last vacations in the US and it was great.

People shouldn't take the whole country for the government.
