    ``(b) Inspection and Exclusion by Immigration Officers.--
            ``(1) An immigration officer shall inspect each alien who 
        is seeking entry to the United States.
            ``(2)(A) If the examining immigration officer determines 
        that an alien seeking entry--
                    ``(i) does not present the documentation required 
                (if any) to obtain legal entry to the United States;

                    ``(ii) does not indicate either an intention to 
                apply for provisional asylum (under section 208) or a 
                fear of persecution,
        the officer shall order the alien excluded from the United 
        States without further hearing or review.
            ``(B) The examining immigration officer shall refer for 
        immediate inspection at the port of entry by an asylum officer 
        under subparagraph (C) any alien who (i) does not present the 
        documentation required (if any) to obtain legal entry to the 
        United States, and (ii) has indicated an intention to apply for 
        provisional asylum or a fear of persecution. Such an alien 
        shall not be considered to have been inspected and admitted for 
        purposes of this Act.

        a credible fear of persecution, the alien shall be entitled to 
        apply for provisional asylum under section 208.

        determines that an alien does not have a credible fear of

        provide for the immediate review by another asylum officer at

        `credible fear of persecution' means (I) that it is more 
        probable than not that the statements made by the alien in 
        support of his or her claim are true, and (II) that there is a 
        significant possibility, in light of such statements and of 
        such other facts as are known to the officer that the alien 
        could establish eligibility for provisional asylum under 
        section 208.

        declaratory or injunctive relief with respect to the 
        implementation of this paragraph. Regardless of the nature of 
        the suit or claim, no court shall have jurisdiction except by 
        habeas corpus petition as provided in clause (iv) to consider 
        the validity of any adjudication or determination under this 
        paragraph or to provide declaratory or injunctive relief with 
        respect to the exclusion of any alien pursuant to this 
        paragraph.

        penalties for improper entry or re-entry of an alien under 
        section 275 or 276, no court shall have jurisdiction to hear 
        claims collaterally attacking the validity of orders of 
        exclusion or deportation entered under sections 235, 236, and 
        242.
            ``(3)(A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B), if the 
        examining immigration officer determines that an alien seeking 
        entry is not clearly and beyond a doubt entitled to enter, the 
        alien shall be detained for a hearing before a special inquiry 
        officer.
            ``(B) The provisions of subparagraph (A) shall not apply--

                273(d) exist.
            ``(4) The decision of the examining immigration officer, if 
        favorable to the admission of any alien, shall be subject to 
        challenge by any other immigration officer and such challenge 
        shall operate to take the alien, whose privilege to enter is so 
        challenged, before a special inquiry officer for a hearing on 
        exclusion of the alien.

        purposes of this Act unless and until such alien has been 
        inspected and admitted by an immigration officer pursuant to 
        this subsection.''.
