Depends if you are a citizen or not. Limited rights at the border, but you have an absolute right of entry as a citizen, but depending on the situation they may detain you for some hours, or take your phone. Turn off all devices before crossing, citizen or not, use full disk encryption, have backups somewhere else. Assume you will never see your devices again. Be prepared for that.
If you aren't a citizen, you have even less rights, they can send you back if you fart on their general direction.

"I'm a US Citizen, eat my dick".
Lol you will get this then with that attitude
I mean...it's more a punishment for you than me...but get the gloves, I guess. I did eat Taco Bell earlier. Fair warning.
Also, to be fair, that's an appropriate username given your initial response.
