Extract: Holocaust denier realist Ernst Zundel ... would normally get an immigrant visa, because his wife of 16 years - who is about 80 years old - is a U.S. citizen. But he was classified as inadmissible because he has been convicted of foreign crimes for which the sentence was five years or more ... As best I can tell from press accounts, Zundel's speech that formed the basis of his German conviction would not have been "deemed criminal by United States standards." Denying the Holocaust and expressing anti-Semitic sentiments is just not a crime under American law. Indeed, it can't be made a crime, given the First Amendment ... So the exclusion of Zundel was itself not a First Amendment violation. But, based on Ramirez-Rivero - and certainly the office's description of Ramirez-Rivero - it appears to have been a violation of American immigration law.
