<upd_refs>It doesn't seem likely that such children would be given the "name" 帰米. Maybe they were *referred to* using terms like 帰米日系人 and 帰米二世.
.
At any rate, I think 帰米 basically means what GG5 says: "return to the United States". I came across the word today in the following context:
２７日に帰米しますのでそれ以降またお会いしましょう。 
.
I do find the following, however:
ニセイには英語しか話せないものも少なくなく、さらに「キベイ」（帰米組）という、アメリカ生まれだが日本育ちという人々もいて、彼らは英語がほとんど分かりませんでした。
http://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q14102089389
But I think that sense of 帰米 should be regarded as secondary, and should be described as a "term used to refer to" those children rather than a "name given to" those children.</upd_refs>

日系アメリカ人の中で、「帰米」（きべい）と呼ばれる人たちがいる。出生地はアメリカなのだが、幼少期に日本で教育を受けて、ふたたびアメリカ
にもどってきた人たちのことだ。日本に一度戻ってからまたアメリカ（米国）に帰ってくるから帰米というのだろう。帰米が人間そのものを指す場合
のほか、形容詞的に帰米二世というように使われる場合もある。</upd_refs>
