And CBP. If you're anything but a white male, they don't like you.

It's not /just/ about colour. Plenty of white people are being detained illegally. The only way to be certain not to be illegally detained in the US is not to visit the US. Sadly, not an option for many people who are already there.

Even if you're a white male, it's safer to be wealthy just in case.
