In 27 years as shopkeepers, we have never been subjected to this type of investigation.

Why would you want Trump goons to extract your passwords and check your social media posts?
That's what happens to every person entering the USA. And if they don't like what they see, you get deported, with possibly a few nights in jail in between.
