IMHO that is how it should be. If there is one place in the within the airport where all passengers should be treated equally (at least in terms of ability to pay) it should be at the immigrations/customs counter. I would feel queasy about expedited immigration lines for first class/business class customers. It is as if the government is stating that there are some citizens/residents/visotrs who are better or more impoortant than others. We should be striving for equality under the law in all aspects of life, including immigration. Again, this is just my opinion.
