There is a similarity, both Qatar (and I might add that I am only using Qatar for discussion purpose not to comment on the countrys immigration policy) and the US have 'dicretionary' powers (for want of a better word)relating to immigration and which are used to a lesser or greater extent depending on the pervailing political climate.
My point is that all travellers should be aware that entry to another country is a privelage granted by that country, not a right.
