  They don't keep massive lists of everybody, but the State Department
does have a list of some people they won't grant visas to. Mostly,
they just rely on visa applicants telling the truth. For tourists it
probably doesn't matter, but for those becoming citizens, lying is
sufficient grounds for having your citizenship stripped away and
being deported.

  I don't know what groups are on the list anymore, though some
World War II vintage NAZI war criminals are. I think it's a fairly
small list: death camp guards, maybe the SS, senior NAZI officials...
