To amend Public Law 89-732 to modify the requirement for a Cuban national to qualify for and maintain status as a permanent resident.

   To amend Public Law 89-732 to modify the requirement for a Cuban 
  national to qualify for and maintain status as a permanent resident.

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

              CUBAN REFUGEES.

    Section 1 of Public Law 89-732 is amended by adding at the end the 
following: ``An alien shall be ineligible for adjustment of status 
under this section if the alien returns to Cuba after admission or 
parole into the United States. The Secretary of Homeland Security shall 
rescind the status of an alien who obtained adjustment of status under 
this section if the alien returns to Cuba before being admitted to 
citizenship in accordance with title III of the Immigration and 
Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1401 et seq.), and the alien shall thereafter 
be subject to all the provisions of such Act to the same extent as if 
the adjustment of status had not been made.''.
