The British academic and broadcaster Gilbert Harding visited the United States and filled in the visa form. In the section which asked if he intended to overthrow the government of the United States (I forget the wording; it’s a long time since I saw that form) he wrote “Sole purpose of visit.”
They let him in.
But those were in the days when the US administration was a great deal more confident and less paranoid than it is now.
