I already know about this, before reading the article. Exactly at this moment, for me US is the worst in welcoming incoming or outgoing visitors.

Let's read more about this report.

WASHINGTON — Rude immigration officials and long delays in processing visas have turned the United States into the world's most unfriendly country for international travelers, a new global survey has showed, amid a controversy over the kicking off of six imams from a US Airways flight.

"The US entry process has created a climate of fear and frustration that is turning away foreign business and leisure travelers from visiting the US and damaging America's image abroad," the Discover America Partnership said in a press release.

The global survey of more than 2,000 travelers worldwide showed that the US was ranked "the worst" in terms of visas and immigration procedures.

It found that two-thirds of them said they feared being detained on arriving in the US for a simple mistake in their paperwork or for saying the wrong thing to an immigration official.

"Travelers to the US are more afraid of US government officials than the threat of terrorism or crime," said the 11-page study.

Yep, that's true. I have been treated the same way for several times.
