Do you have to have a return ticket to enter US?

Does an airline have the right to refuse service?
As we’ve discussed previously, an airline that chooses to apply for a license to operate as a common carrier — rather than as a private charter operator or air taxi service — gives up any “right to refuse service to anyone”.
Do you want a one journey or a return ticket?
A one-way ticket allows you to travel only to your destination, without returning. A return ticket includes a journey to your destination and back.
Can I use my return ticket for an unexpected return flight?
If you are travelling on a return ticket, most airlines are fair enough to let you use your return ticket for the unexpected return flight. Aside from that, most air lines regulate this in their terms of carriage and hold the passenger liable for any further costs. Just as an example, here are Lufthansa’s terms regarding denied entry.
What happens when you get refused entry at airports?
4. Re: What happens when you get refused entry at airports? If you are denied entry by US Immigration, the airline is responsible to fly you back to your country of origin – or at least wherever your arriving flight came from.
What happens if I don’t pay for carriage to the airport?
The fare collected for carriage to the point of refusal of entry or deportation will not be refunded by us. If you don’t have any money to pay these charges up front, the air line is still liable to transport you, but you must expect the air line to use any possible legal means to get the money back from you later.
Can an airline bring you back to the origin country?
Even if the air line has done everything in their power to check your eligibility to enter the destination country, they are in most cases still required by national law (in the destination country) to either bring you back to the origin country or if you are not eligible to reenter the origin country, to bring you anywhere else.
