If USA can fund and support genocide just fine, is not letting some people into the country based on some frivolous reasons really that crazy a thing?

I'm not defending the position, but for a lot of Americans I think the emphasis is "it can't happen here."

Not sure what you mean by "here" and where you see the distinction. It's still in the "Americans doing bad things to foreigners" category. There's no distinction. It's just that rejecting some French on the border is just relatively minor bad thing, compared to materially supporting genocide.
