Yes a passenger didn't reveal his criminal record and was put on a plane back home.

You can be prevented from entering the United States even with an entry visa for a number of reasons - the most common being smuggling something illegal in your luggage upon entry. The second reason is if you are carrying a contagious disease, the third is if you have the equivalent of a felony conviction in your home country.
You can visit the website for United States Customs and Border Patrol and get more information there.

Good luck.

Every country allows its immigration officers to turn away anybody even if they have a visa. A visa is merely documented authority to perform certain tasks and activities during your stay in that country. Only the immigration officer has the authority to allow you to enter the country.
I don't know of any examples if this has happening in the US (although I am sure it has). However, I know of examples where it is happened elsewhere.

Only if you have a criminal record that you did not declare or that you did not declare that you belong or are sympathetic to terrorist organisations.
If you are worried than contact US Embassy - normally they would not issue a Visa without a thorough check so I believe you have nothing to worry about.

The front door to America is a most unwelcoming one in too many cases, unfortunately! It is almost always closed, thus the reason for illegal immigration and so many coming through the back door instead!

Yes... they turn people away for poor spelling.
"Herd" is a group of COWS... "Heard" is to have listened to someone/thing.
You can be denied entry for any reason if the immigration people feel there is something wrong with your reasons for entering the U.S.

Yes this is true but rare. I was worried when i arrived here but i had no problems, i think its just a formality as long as you don't have any criminal records and you are healthy you should be fine.
