It's usually a pretty grim experience even as a citizen reentering the US, but at least we're not required to give our fingerprints. I would never travel to a country which demanded that.
Is it Texas? I think they gave up on that last year:

Plenty of articles about it online. I used to be involved with organising meetings for scientists, and we'd never arrange one in the USA because of the hostility towards foreigners, particularly from Africa.
Hmmmmmm
Seemed like an easy decision when getting my visa and every time I reenter.
