I agree that the US government is pretty good at looking after the rights of the disabled, and that from a PR perspective would never do anything that would look bad from that point of view. I really think the original poster has nothing to worry about.

However, people arriving in the US are technically made to sign their rights away (including the right to an appeal!) when they sign the green I94W forms that you will see non-US citizens from visa-waiver countries carrying around.
I have never seen or heard of anyone I know encountering problems that would make them want to appeal (apart from the famous example of Cat Stevens!).
