This is unfortunately correct. The border agent has final say in letting you into the country (regardless of the legitimacy of your documents).

I'm the same in at the immigration for my own country (UK) but as soon as I set foot in the line-up for any other country, it's "yes sir" and "no sir".

I'm not a tourist, it's my right to enter my own country.
