Each case is different but you won't ever be blocked from entering America for ever just for having a caution but you will need to disclose it and they will review it. You would only be refused entry if it was something very serious like a caution for drugs or full on violent assault but even then they would review it and probably grant you a visa providing your record has been clean since. Every case is reviewed individually. Its serious crimes like rape and murder which would stop you getting a visa but they would be full convictions.
Most cautions are for minor offences which is why the police issue then to save court time, and if the caution is a 'without violence' one it would never effect anything. These type of cautions wouldn't even show up on a check. So if anyone has a caution which says 'without violence' at the top you would never need to worry about anything being effected.
I suspect the reason Aisleyne refused a caution is because it would be for violence against a US national therefore could effect the possibility if being granted a work visa in America and as it would appear Ais already has one caution under her belt a second one probably could create some issues.
