Even with NEXUS it took me 34 minutes of lineup to enter the USA last weekend.

After a couple of 2-3+ hour border lineups to enter the USA you just give up and get something like NEXUS.

Only one country has ever made me wait more than an hour to enter, and that's the USA; and on more occasions than I can remember. It really is the biggest pain the ... border I've ever crossed.
You're not forced to do anything. With those kinds of waits, I'd recommend traveling (and spending) elsewhere, rather than continue to condone such unnecessary idiocy.
