And so do many other people, this correspondent included, and still  
they face obstruction and hostility and generally unprofessional  
behaviour.  I hear similar things can happen in other civilised  
countries too, but the U.S. has gotten a reputation for this from  
both residents and visitors alike (speaking in a customs context).  
Some of my best friends are American.

I can understand hostility to people with a bad attitude (and they  
come from all countries) or those with less than correct  
documentation (seeing some of the Airline/Cops type programs shows a  
lot of differences in "customer handling" and the "quality" of the  
customers) though.
