I live in Holland (US Citizen) and get a long series of questions about 50% of the time when crossing the US border.
"Do you live in Holland? What do you do there? What are you doing on your visit back home?"
I usually (happily, respectfully) humor them for a few questions, and then switch to "am I free to go?" (with a smile).
Only once has this resulted in a small temper-tantrum by the agent (after which he just let me go). They cannot deny you entry, they can only delay it for a while and conduct extra searches.
