1952 - GRAHAM GREENE (British Novelist)
Greene was removed from the United States during a visit in 1952. He was deemed inadmissible based on his brief membership in the British Communist party when he was nineteen. Documents obtained by The Guardian reveal the State Department later believed Greene's membership had been a joke. In 1956, they recommended granting Greene a waiver and wrote that he "is internationally known as a writer and from the philosophies expressed in his writings it is evident that he is anti-communist."
