In more precise terms, the officer must "presume" rather than "assume" intention to immigrate. It's also worth noting that the specific requirement is to have a "round-trip ticket," but there is a regulation that defines this term such that any outbound ticket is acceptable if the destination is outside of North America (including "adjacent islands," if I recall correctly) or if the traveler resides in the destination country.

"It is my understanding that if you are denied entry you will require a visa to return to the USA (and this will hold true for a period of 10 years)." Nope, it's for the rest of your life

@Crazydre, unless something has changed (and it might of), that's different from what I know to be the case. I had a friend who had this exact issue. He was denied entry crossing by car from Canada to US. For 10 years he wasn't able to enter the US without a visa. My understanding is his normal entry requirements resumed after that period. This was, however over 20 years ago, so something might have changed. Do you have a reference?

@FlyingKiwi Emailed the ESTA team a few years ago by email and was told that answering "yes" to whether you've ever been refused entry to the US will "routinely" trigger a denial after a manual review
