[The reason why so relatively few Nazis made it to America is enshrined in the separation of powers doctrine in the U.S. Constitution. Only Congress has the power to determine the qualifications for American residency or citizenship.] It was quite clear that anyone wishing to bring Nazis into the United States would have to do so over the express prohibitions of Congress, in violation of several criminal laws, and against the direct orders of the Commander-in-Chief. Congress and the President were not blind to the needs of national security, however, and exceptions were made. In 1949 a special law was enacted to permit the CIA to bring in not more than a hundred persons a year who were “ineligible” for visas to the United States. As in the case of Mykola Lebed, head of the Ukrainian Gestapo-like SB, Justice and State concealed that he was a wanted war Nazi criminal, and listed his involvement with a pre-war Polish assassination plot as the only grounds for his ineligibility to obtain a regular visa. For the most part the CIA acted in an exemplary fashion under the “Hundred Persons Act.”[1] The Pentagon had a similar mechanism for special entry where intelligence considerations were involved.

The State Department had no legal authority to waive immigration provisions for OPC recruits. The power to suspend entry requirements temporarily did not even exist until 1951, and even then Congress insisted, as it had in the “Hundred Persons Act,” that entry would be permitted only for a brief visit for reasons of national security.112 Even then, some congressmen argued that the waiver law and the “Hundred Persons Act” could never be used to provide a mechanism for Nazis and fascists to enter the United States.
