Why should we let people in that talk shit about America? Entering our borders is a privilege, not a right. Entitlement at its finest. He exercised his right and so did the U.S.
The NSA is also monitoring non-terrorist foreign nationals, including Germans. So a German criticising them is reasonable.
America barring critics make it more like China, North Korea or some silly Banana Republics. Not like America. It indicates a lack of self confidence. i.e. Insecurity.
You're right that any country has a right to bar non-citizens from entering, But the reasons countries do this speaks volumes. The USA has usually only barred people they think will renege on the conditions of their visa, or who are security threats. This guy doesn't fit either of these.
Edit PS: He isn't criticising America. He is criticising the NSA and some institutions surrounding it. Big difference.
