Usually oppressive regimes that let international tourists in are generally smart enough to leave them alone. For example I would probably be perfectly safe going to the Philippines.

The problem the US has is regardless of what their policy might actually be, and of course it changes on a daily basis, the ICE goons they hire don't have enough space in their pea-sized brains for rules and regulations, they are so damn trigger happy that'll go for anyone. Including people they've been explicitly told to leave alone.
