Reverse Entry for Migrant Offenders and Violence Expulsion Act
This bill establishes under statute that a conviction for certain crimes related to kidnapping or sexual abuse shall be grounds for (1) barring an individual from entering the United States, and (2) deportability. (Under current law, convictions for certain crimes, including crimes involving moral turpitude, are grounds for inadmissibility and deportability.)
To clarify that convictions for kidnapping or sexual abuse are grounds 
    for inadmissibility and deportability under the Immigration and 
                            Nationality Act.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,
