If you're a citizen, sure, legally they cannot deny you entry (though they can confiscate your stuff)

If you're not a citizen, they'll just deny you entry altogether

Even non citizens have rights under the constitution.

That's true, but if push comes to shove and you're a non-citizen, they probably won't do something crazy like force you to decrypt things or arrest you they'll just deny you entry
