Notably:

"If the foreign visitor declines to share such information, he or she could be denied entry."

That part is new, isn't it?

No, this is refusal to cooperate with a border control / immigration agent which is grounds for rejection of entry.

I've seen 2 loud white chicks being denied entry to the US with a valid visa because they were acting obnoxious and causing a mess at the immigration line in JFK.

If they don't want you in it's extremely easy, if you used drugs, if you gotten as much as a parking ticket it's enough for them to deny you entry either due to lying or not being "of good character".

And this happens a lot to people of all races, nationalities, sexes and ages.

An official rule to deny entry might be new, not sure, but border control can already deny entry for that (as they can for basically any other reason).

Anybody who is not a citizen can be denied entry. So it's not new, just reiterating that they have this authority - which they always had.
