Agreed that it's more complicated, but I think my point is still valid. If someone poses actual danger to our country, then by all means, don't let them in. But if it's just someone who doesn't live up to our "morality standards", then I just can't accept it as legitimate. So he's done drugs and visited prostitutes and was arrested once 25 years ago. There are tons of productive, legal citizens in this country who share a similar resume, I'm sure. And in fairness he claims he's been off drugs for three years. So what's the problem? According to the report, he wasn't trying to bring drugs into the country, or do anything dangerous. He was just coming here to promote his book. So where's the threat he posed that was worthy of denying him entrance to the country? This is a pretty counter-productive, idiotic policy, especially when coupled with examples like what was given by Strangelet.
