I Charlie Chaplin wasnt dead could he be able to get a visa to enter the US today?

Chaplin was never a US citizen and his visa was revoked in 1946 so he had to go elsewhere. He was just too socialistic for the McCarthy era to accept.

But he is still a hugely popular actor in the western world. Do you think he would be OK for US immigration today?

    I'm not expert on the "in's and out's" of the laws, so I have no answer, but I find your question very interesting!

    Chaplin had a pathological interest in late-adolescent women, unquestionably an ephebophile. His second wife was only 16 when he married her. By today's laws he'd have been charged with statutory rape (despite the fact that the relationship was consensual and legal at that time), and thus denied a visa.

    Only if he proves his LOYALTY by killing a few Jews.

    I think he would be allowed, yes. He's not likely to break any laws or pose a threat to anybody. Society has changed a lot since those days. It would make good business sense, and would be very beneficial to the US if he entered on a work visa. He'd be in high demand.
