US already discriminates.
I think the US is already discriminatory when it comes to letting non-citizens enter this country. It's a matter of whom they are discriminating against the most. Now if one tries to come over here and they are perceived as say a poor farmer, yes they will spend some time in customs being interrogated and searched. However if you come looking like the CEO of some company to do business in the US, they are in and out with no problems. There were reports that a few of these men had stolen id from American business men. This could be the reason why they were let in without any hassle or hesitation.
In my opinion, we should be non-discriminatory and scrutinize everyone across the board- citizen or non-citizen. I think it would be unfair to say that because one is a foreigner that they should have stricter guidelines. Because as we have seen with Timothy McVeigh, a citizen can be just as dangerous as a non-citizen.
