Its primary purpose is to ensure that individuals who have committed or been convicted of specific violent crimes cannot enter or remain in the United States. Specifically, the bill makes an alien inadmissible if they have been convicted of, or admit to committing, a sex offense (as defined by the Adam Walsh Act) or acts constituting domestic violence, stalking, child abuse, child neglect, child abandonment , or violating certain protection orders . Furthermore, it clarifies and expands the grounds for deportability to include aliens convicted of a sex offense and broadens the definition of domestic violence for deportation purposes.
