Re: Australia has more draconian laws
And as has been observed, the US doesn't give a toss about "reasonable cause". In fact, nothing in their so-wonderful Constitution applies to non-citizens entering their borders.
This is widely believed, but it's not true. The constitution and its protections apply to anyone within US jurisdiction, regardless of citizenship.
American citizens like to forget this, because it makes them feel special. Politicians like to forget it, because it makes their voters feel special, and simultaneously allows them to pass laws breaching those protections and pretending that they're only for foreigners, when in fact - once the law is passed - it by definition applies to everyone.
