Yup only muslims can enter Makkah or Mecca. Same applies to Madinah.

IT'S NOT THAT they don't want non muslims there, it's that there's no point for non muslims to be there

two thumbs up. very well said.
non-muslims do go to makkah and madinah but only on special permits given to them by the government of saudi arabia. during the revamping years of makah and madinah mosques, a lot of foreigners (non-muslims) worked there.

What's the big deal? Aren't certain pieces of land on earth demarcated into "national" boundaries, meaning those who have the citizenship can enter and live while those that don't, the overwhelming majority of the world, can not enter and live inside the nation.

If that concept is valid, so is this. This is a holy city for Muslims. Anybody who becomes a Muslim can enter. It is not difficult to become a Muslim, and no one is barred from being one, no matter what kind of human you were in the past, and no matter your age, gender, former religion, nationality, language etc etc.

As you might have inferred, the Saudi authorities do not allow non-moslems to the holy areas. That has not always been the case, in fact, Mecca (and hijaz in general) were among the most cosmopolitan areas in the Middle East (and major routes for trade).
In Islam some interpretations consider Christians and Jews to be "pure" (for example: shaking hands with them does not revoke ablutions) and some see them as impure, or even infidels.
The Wahhabi interpretation takes an extreme position on the issue and prohibits the presence of non-moslems in the holy cities, in fact, if the extremist wahhabis had it their way, and if not for political considerations, they would not even allow shi`as in there.

There are Millions that want to be in Makkah for a purpose either for pilgramage or Prayers or for Umrah.

Non muslims just standing there for site seeing are using up precious space and resources that should be allocated to those that need Makkah for prayers.

Not only do they do it to have less people to deal with they also have that rule established because as someone earlier on mentioned there is no point for non muslims to be there.
