  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. ABRAHAM (for himself and Mr. DeWine) submitted an amendment 
intended to be proposed by them to the bill (S. 1664) to amend the 
Immigration and Nationality Act to increase control over immigration to 
the United States by increasing border patrol and investigative 
personnel and detention facilities, improving the system used by 
employers to verify citizenship or work-authorized alien status, 
increasing penalties for alien smuggling and document fraud, and 
reforming asylum, exclusion, and deportation law and procedures; to 
reduce the use of welfare by aliens; and for other purposes; as 
follows:

       At the appropriate place insert the following four new 
     sections:

     SEC.   . ELIMINATION OF REPETITIVE REVIEW OF DEPORTATION 
                   ORDERS ENTERED AGAINST CRIMINAL ALIENS.

       Section 242b (8 U.S.C. 125b) is amended by--
       (a) redesignating subsection (f) as subsection (g); and

     (D), shall be granted more than one administrative hearing 
     and one appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals concerning 
     or relating to such alien's deportation. Any claims for 
     relief from deportation for which the criminal alien may be 
     eligible must be raised at that time. Under no circumstances 
     may such a criminal alien request or be granted a reopening 
     of the order of deportation or any other form of relief under 
     the law, including but not limited to claims of ineffective 
     assistance of counsel, after the earlier of:
       ``(i) a determination by the Board of Immigration Appeals 
     affirming such order; or

     permitted to seek review of such order by the Board of 
     Immigration Appeals.''

     issue related to an order of exclusion, entered against an 
     alien found by the Attorney General or the Attorney General's 
     designee to be an alien described in Section 212(a)(2) (8 
     U.S.C. 1182(a)(2)) or of any administrative ruling related to 
     such an order.''

       (2) 334 special inquiry officers; and
       (3) a number of attorneys to support the Board and the

     employed as of the date of enactment of this Act.
       (b) Authorization of Appropriations.--There are authorized

       (1) replacing ``of this subsection'' with ``of this 
     subsection; or'' in paragraph (6)
       (2) adding new paragraph (7) to read as follows--

                 WYDEN (AND OTHERS) AMENDMENT NO. 3741

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. WYDEN (for himself, Mr. Leahy, Mr. Kyl, Mr. Craig, Mrs. 
Feinstein, Mr. Lott, Mr. Cochran, and Mr. Lugar) submitted an amendment 
intended to be proposed by them to the bill S. 1664, supra; as follows:

       At the appropriate place in S. 1664, the Immigration 
     Control and Financial Responsibility Act of 1996, insert the 
     following:

     SEC.  . REVIEW AND REPORT ON H-2A NONIMMIGRANT WORKERS 
                   PROGRAM.

       (a) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that passage of legislation to reform the nation's 
     immigration laws may impact on the future availability of an 
     adequate work force for the producers of our nation's labor 
     intensive agricultural commodities and livestock. Therefore, 
     the United States Comptroller General shall review the 
     existing H-2A nonimmigrant worker program to ensure that the 
     program provides a workable safety valve in the event of 
     future shortages of domestic workers after passage of 
     immigration reform legislation. The United States Comptroller 
     General shall report the findings of this review to the 
     Congress.
       (b) Review.--The United States Comptroller General shall 
     review the effectiveness of the program for the admission of 
     nonimmigrant aliens described in section 101(a)(15)(H)(ii)(a) 
     of the Immigration and Nationality Act to ensure that the 
     program provides a workable safety valve in the event of 
     future shortages of domestic workers after the enactment of 
     this Act. Among other things, the United States Comptroller 
     General shall review the program to determine--
       (1) that it ensures that an adequate supply of qualified 
     United States workers is available at the time and place

       (i) must be in a form that is resistant to counterfeiting 
     and to tampering; and
       (ii) must not be required by any Government entity or 
     agency as a national identification card or to be carried or 
     presented except--
       (I) to verify eligibility for employment in the United 
     States or immigration status in the United States for 
     purposes of eligibility for benefits under public assistance 
     programs (as defined in section 201(f)(3) or government 
     benefits described in section 201(f)(4));
       (II) to enforce the Immigration and Nationality Act or 
     sections 911, 1001, 1028, 1542, 1546, or 1621 of title 18, 
     United States Code; or
       (III) if the document was designed for another purposes 
     (such as a license to drive a

[[Page S4201]]

     motor vehicle, a certificate of birth, or a social security 
     account number card issued by the Administration), as 
     required under law for such other purpose.
       (C) The system must not be used for law enforcement 
     purposes other than the purposes described in subparagraph 
     (B).
       (D) The system must ensure that information is complete, 
     accurate, verifiable, and timely. Corrections or additions to 
     the system records of an individual provided by the 
     individual, the Administration, or the Service, or other 
     relevant Federal agency, must be checked for accuracy, 
     processed, and entered into the system within 10 business 
     days after the agency's acquisition of the correction or 
     additional information.
       (E)(i) Any personal information obtained in connection with 
     a demonstration project under section 112 must not be made 
     available to Government agencies, employers, or other persons 
     except to the extent necessary--
       (I) to verify, by an individual who is authorized to 
     conduct the employment verification process, that an employee 
     is not an unauthorized alien (as defined in section 
     274A(h)(3) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 
     1324a(h)(3));
       (II) to take other action required to carry out section 
     112;
       (III) to enforce the Immigration and Nationality Act or 
     section 911, 1001, 1028, 1542, 1546, or 1621 of title 18, 
     United States Code; or
       (IV) to verify the individual's immigration status for 
     purposes of determining eligibility for Federal benefits 
     under public assistance programs (defined in section 
     201(f)(3) or government benefits described in section 
     201(f)(4)).
       (ii) In order to ensure the integrity, confidentiality, and 
     security of system information, the system and those who use 
     the system must maintain appropriate administrative, 
     technical, and physical safeguards, such as--
       (I) safeguards to prevent unauthorized disclosure of 
     personal information, including passwords, cryptography, and 
     other technologies;
       (II) audit trails to monitor system use; or

     records containing personal information about the individual 
     held by agencies and used in the system, for the purpose of 
     examination, copying, correction, or amendment, and a method 
     that ensures notice to individuals of these procedures.
       (F) A verification that a person is eligible for employment 
     in the United States may not be withheld or revoked under the 
     system for any reasons other than a determination pursuant to 
     section 274A of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
       (G) The system must be capable of accurately verifying 
     electronically within 5 business days, whether a person has 
     the required immigration status in the United States and is 
     legally authorized for employment in the United States in a 
     substantial percentage of cases (with the objective of not 
     less than 99 percent).
       (H) There must be reasonable safeguards against the 
     system's resulting in unlawful discriminatory practices based 
     on national origin or citizenship status, including--
       (i) the selective or unauthorized use of the system to 
     verify eligibility;
       (ii) the use of the system prior to an offer of employment;
       (iii) the exclusion of certain individuals from 
     consideration for employment as a result of a perceived 
     likelihood that additional verification will be required, 
     beyond what is required for most job applicants; or
       (iv) denial reduction, termination, or unreasonable delay 
     of public assistance to an individual as a result of the 
     perceived likelihood that such additional verification will 
     be required.
       (2) As used in this subsection, the term ``business day'' 
     means any day other than Saturday, Sunday, or any day on 
     which the appropriate Federal agency is closed.

     or local law.
       (B) Civil actions.--A employer, or other person or entity, 
     who knowingly and willfully discloses the information that an

     any Federal, State, or local court having jurisdiction over 
     the matter.
       (2) Criminal penalties.--Any employer, or other person or 
     entity, who willfully and knowingly obtains, uses, or 
     discloses information required pursuant to this section or 
     section 274A of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 
     1324a) for any purpose not authorized by this Act or other 
     applicable Federal, State, or local law shall be found guilty 
     of a misdemeanor and fined not more than $5,000.
       (3) Privacy act.--
       (A) In general.--Any person who is a United States citizen,

     section or section 112, shall be considered an individual 
     under section 552(a)(2) of title 5, United States Code, with 
     respect to records covered by this section.
       (B) Definition.--For purposes of this paragraph, the term 
     ``record'' means an item, collection, or grouping of 
     information about an individual which--
       (i) is created, maintained, or used by a Federal agency for 
     the purpose of determining--

       (I) the individual's authorization to work; or
       (II) immigration status in the United States for purposes 
     of eligibility to receive Federal, State or local benefits in 
     the United States; and

       (ii) contains the individuals's name or identifying number, 
     symbol, or any other identifier assigned to the individual.
       (e) Employer Safeguards.--An employer shall not be liable 
     for any penalty under section 274A of the Immigration and

     General determines that any document described in section 
     274A(b)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act as 
     establishing employment authorization or identity does not 
     reliably establish such authorization or identity or, to an 
     unacceptable degree, is being used fraudulently or is being 
     requested for purposes not authorized by this Act, the 
     Attorney General may, by regulation, prohibit or place 
     conditions on the use of the document for purposes of the 
     system or the verification system established in section 
     274A(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.

     adverse to an individual if such action was taken in good 
     faith reliance on information relating to such individual 
     provided through the system (including any demonstration 
     project conducted under section 112).
       (h) Statutory Construction.--The provisions of this section

       (1) In general.--(A)(i) Subject to clause (ii), the 
     President, acting through the Attorney General, shall begin 
     conducting several local and regional projects, and a project 
     in the legislative branch of the Federal Government, to 
     demonstrate the feasibility of alternative systems for 
     verifying eligibility for employment in the United States, 
     and immigration status in the United States for purposes of 
     eligibility for benefits under public assistance programs (as 
     defined in section 201(f)(3) and government benefits 
     described in section 201(f)(4)).
       (ii) Each project under this section shall be consistent 
     with the objectives of section 111(b) and this section and 
     shall be conducted in accordance with an agreement entered 
     into with the State, locality, employer, other entity, or the 
     legislative branch of the Federal Government, as the case may 
     be.
       (iii) In determining which State(s), localities, employers, 
     or other entities shall be designated for such projects, the 
     Attorney General shall take into account the estimated number 
     of excludable aliens and deportable aliens in each State or 
     locality.
       (B) For purposes of this paragraph, the term ``legislative 
     branch of the Federal Government'' includes all offices 
     described in section 101(9) of the Congressional 
     Accountability Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1301(9)) and all 
     agencies of the legislative branch of Government.
       (2) Description of projects.--Demonstration projects 
     conducted under this subsection may include, but are not 
     limited to--
       (A) a system which allows employers to verify the 
     eligibility for employment of new employees using 
     Administration records and, if necessary, to conduct a cross-
     check using Service records;
       (B) a simulated linkage of the electronic records of the 
     Service and the Administration to test the technical 
     feasibility of establishing a linkage between the actual 
     electronic records of the Service and the Administration;
       (C) improvements and additions to the electronic records of 
     the Service and the Administration for the purpose of using 
     such records for verification of employment eligibility;
       (D) a system which allows employers to verify the continued 
     eligibility for employment of employees with temporary work 
     authorization;

[[Page S4202]]

       (E) a system that requires employers to verify the validity 
     of employee social security account numbers through a 
     telephone call, and to verify employee identity through a 
     United States passport, a State driver's license or 
     identification document, or a document issued by the Service 
     for purposes of this clause;
       (F) a system which is based on State-issued driver's 
     licenses and identification cards that include a machine 
     readable social security account number and are resistant to 
     tampering and counterfeiting; and
       (G) a system that requires employers to verify with the 
     Service the immigration status of every employee except one 
     who has attested that he or she is a United States citizen or 
     national.
       (3) Commencement date.--The first demonstration project 
     under this section shall commence not later than six months 
     after the date of the enactment of this Act.
       (4) Termination date.--The authority of paragraph (1) shall 
     cease to be effective four years after the date of enactment 
     of this Act, except that, if the President determines that 
     any one or more of the projects conducted pursuant to 
     paragraph (2) should be renewed, or one or more additional 
     projects should be conducted before a plan is recommended 
     under section 111(a)(1)(A), the President may conduct such 
     project or projects for up to an additional three-year 
     period, without regard to section 274A(d)(4)(A) of the 
     Immigration and Nationality Act.
       (b) Objectives.--The objectives of the demonstration 
     projects conducted under this section are--
       (1) to assist the Attorney General in measuring the 
     benefits and costs of systems for verifying eligibility for 
     employment in the United States, and immigration status in 
     the United States for purposes of eligibility for benefits 
     under public assistance programs defined in section 201(f)(3) 
     and for government benefits described in section 201(f)(4);
       (2) to assist the Service and the Administration in 
     determining the accuracy of Service and Administration data 
     that may be used in such systems; and

     Senate regarding the demonstration projects being conducted 
     under this section.
       (2) The Attorney General or her representative, in 
     fulfilling the obligations described in paragraph (1), shall

     used in a new verification system, including drivers' 
     licenses or similar documents issued by a State for the 
     purpose of identification, the social security account number 
     card issued by the Administration, and certificates of birth 
     in the United States or establishing United States 
     nationality at birth; and
       (B) recordkeeping systems that would reduce the fraudulent 
     obtaining of such documents, including a nationwide system to 
     match birth and death records;
       (2) require appropriate notice to prospective employees 
     concerning employers' participation in a demonstration 
     project, which notice shall contain information on filing

     demonstration; and
       (3) require employers to establish procedures developed by 
     the Attorney General--
       (A) to safeguard all personal information from unauthorized

     any person or entity upon the person's or entity's agreement 
     to safeguard such information; and
       (B) to provide notice to all new employees and applicants 
     for employment of the right to request an agency to review, 
     correct, or amend the employee's or applicant's record and 
     the steps to follow to make such a request.
       (e) Report of Attorney General.--Not later than 60 days

     are required only to be likely to substantially meet the 
     criteria, as determined by the Attorney General.
       (2) Superseding effect.--If the Attorney General determines 
     that any demonstration project conducted under this section 
     substantially meets the criteria in section 111(c)(1), other 
     than the criteria in subparagraphs (D) and (G) of that 
     section, and meets the criteria in such subparagraphs (D) and 
     (G) to a sufficient degree, the requirements for participants 
     in such project shall apply during the remaining period of 
     its operation in lieu of the procedures required under 
     section 274A(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. 
     Section 274B of such Act shall remain fully applicable to the

     by adding at the end the following new subsection:
       ``(d)(1) Subject to paragraph (2), any alien who has not 
     been admitted to the United States, and who is excludable 
     under section 212(a)(6)(C)(iii) or who is an alien described 
     in paragraph (3), is ineligible for withholding of 
     deportation pursuant to section 243(h), and may not apply 
     therefor or for any other relief under this Act, except that 
     an alien found to have a credible fear of persecution or of 
     return to persecution in accordance with section 208(e) shall 
     be taken before a special inquiry officer for exclusion 
     proceedings in accordance with section 236 and may apply for 
     asylum, withholding of deportation, or both, in the course of 
     such proceedings.
       ``(2) An alien described in paragraph (1) who has been 
     found ineligible to apply for asylum under section 208(e) may 
     be returned under the provisions of this section only to a 
     country in which (or from which) he or she has no credible 
     fear of persecution (or of return to persecution). If there 
     is no country to which the alien can be returned in 
     accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, the alien 
     shall be taken before a special inquiry officer for exclusion 
     proceedings in accordance with section 236 and may apply for 
     asylum, withholding of deportation, or both, in the course of 
     such proceedings.
       ``(3) Any alien who is excludable under section 212(a), and 
     who has been brought or escorted under the authority of the 
     United States--
       ``(A) into the United States, having been on board a vessel 
     encountered seaward of the territorial sea by officers of the 
     United States; or
       ``(B) to a port of entry, having been on board a vessel 
     encountered within the territorial sea or internal waters of 
     the United States;

     shall either be detained on board the vessel on which such 
     person arrived or in such facilities as are designated by the 
     Attorney General or paroled in the discretion of the Attorney 
     General pursuant to section 212(d)(5) pending 
     accomplishment of the purpose for which the person was 
     brought or escorted into the United States or to the port 
     of entry, except that no alien shall be detained on board 
     a public vessel of the United States without the 
     concurrence of the head of the department under whose 
     authority the vessel is operating.''.
       (b) Conforming Amendments.--Section 237(a) (8 U.S.C. 
     1227(a)) is amended--
       (1) in the second sentence of paragraph (1), by striking 
     ``Deportation'' and inserting ``Subject to section 235(d)(2), 
     deportation''; and
       (2) in the first sentence of paragraph (2), by striking 
     ``If'' and inserting ``Subject to section 235(d)(2), if''.

       (a) Amendments to Title 18.--Sections 1581, 1583, 1584, and 
     1588 of title 18, United States Code, are amended by striking 
     ``five'' each place it appears and inserting ``10''.
       (b) Review of Sentencing Guidelines.--The United States 
     Sentencing Commission shall ascertain whether there exists an 
     unwarranted disparity--
       (1) between the sentences for peonage, involuntary 
     servitude, and slave trade offenses, and the sentences for 
     kidnapping offenses in effect on the date of the enactment of 
     this Act; and
       (2) between the sentences for peonage, involuntary 
     servitude, and slave trade offenses, and the sentences for 
     alien smuggling offenses in effect on the date of the 
     enactment of this Act and after the amendment made by 
     subsection (a).
       (c) Amendment of Sentencing Guidelines.--Pursuant to its 
     authority under section 994(p) of title 28, United States 
     Code, the United States Sentencing Commission shall review 
     its guidelines on sentencing for peonage, involuntary 
     servitude, and slave trade offenses under sections 1581 
     through 1588 of title 18, United States Code, and shall amend 
     such guidelines as necessary to--
       (1) reduce or eliminate any unwarranted disparity found 
     under subsection (b) that exists between the sentences for 
     peonage, involuntary servitude, and slave trade offenses, and 
     the sentences for kidnapping offenses and alien smuggling 
     offenses;
       (2) ensure that the applicable guidelines for defendants 
     convicted of peonage, involuntary servitude, and slave trade 
     offenses are sufficiently stringent to deter such offenses 
     and adequately reflect the heinous nature of such offenses; 
     and
       (3) ensure that the guidelines reflect the general 
     appropriateness of enhanced sentences for defendants whose 
     peonage, involuntary servitude, or slave trade offenses 
     involve--
       (A) a large number of victims;
       (B) the use or threatened use of a dangerous weapon; or
       (C) a prolonged period of peonage or involuntary servitude.

     and
       (2) by adding at the end of subsection (b)(1), as

     arrived from a foreign territory contiguous to the United 
     States, either at a land port of entry or on the land of the 
     United States other than at a designated port of entry, the 
     alien may be returned to that territory pending the 
     inquiry.''.
       (b) Special Orders of Exclusion and Deportation.--Section 
     235 (8 U.S.C. 1225), as amended by section 132 of this Act, 
     is further amended by adding at the end the following:
       ``(e)(1) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (b) 
     of this section and section 236, the Attorney General may, 
     without referral to a special inquiry officer or after such a 
     referral, order the exclusion and deportation of any alien 
     if--
       ``(A) the alien appears to an examining immigration 
     officer, or to a special inquiry officer if such referral is 
     made, to be an alien who--
       ``(i) has entered the United States without having been 
     inspected and admitted by an immigration officer pursuant to 
     this section, unless such alien affirmatively demonstrates to 
     the satisfaction of such immigration officer or special 
     inquiry officer that he has been physically present in the 
     United States for an uninterrupted period of at least two 
     years since such entry without inspection;
       ``(ii) is excludable under section 212(a)(6)(C)(iii);
       ``(iii) is brought or escorted under the authority of the 
     United States into the United States, having been on board a 
     vessel encountered outside of the territorial waters of the 
     United States by officers of the United States;
       ``(iv) is brought or escorted under the authority of the 
     United States to a port of entry, having been on board a 
     vessel encountered within the territorial sea or internal 
     waters of the United States; or

       ``(v) has arrived on a vessel transporting aliens to the 
     United States without such alien having received prior 
     official authorization to come to, enter, or reside in the 
     United States; or
       ``(B) the Attorney General has determined that the numbers 
     or circumstances of aliens en route to or arriving in the 
     United States, by land, sea, or air, present an extraordinary 
     migration situation.
       ``(2) As used in this section, the phrase `extraordinary 
     migration situation' means the arrival or imminent arrival in 
     the United States or its territorial waters of aliens who by 
     their numbers or circumstances substantially exceed the 
     capacity for the inspection and examination of such aliens.
       ``(3)(A) Subject to subparagraph (B), the determination of 
     whether there exists an extraordinary migration situation or 
     whether to invoke the provisions of paragraph (1) (A) or (B) 
     is committed to the sole and exclusive discretion of the 
     Attorney General.
       ``(B) The provisions of this subsection may be invoked 
     under paragraph (1)(B) for a period not to exceed 90 days, 
     unless, within such 90-day period or an extension thereof 
     authorized by this subparagraph, the Attorney General 
     determines, after consultation with the Committees on the 
     Judiciary of the Senate and the House of Representatives, 
     that an extraordinary migration situation continues to 
     warrant such procedures remaining in effect for an additional 
     90-day period.
       ``(4) When the Attorney General invokes the provisions of 
     clause (iii), (iv), or (v) of paragraph (1)(A) or paragraph 
     (1)(B), the Attorney General may, pursuant to this section 
     and sections 235(e) and 106(f), suspend, in whole or in part, 
     the operation of immigration regulations regarding the 
     inspection and exclusion of aliens.
       ``(5) No alien may be ordered specially excluded under 
     paragraph (1) if--
       ``(A) such alien is eligible to seek, and seeks, asylum 
     under section 208; and
       ``(B) the Attorney General determines, in the procedure 
     described in section 208(e), that such alien has a credible 
     fear of persecution on account of race, religion, 
     nationality, membership in a particular social group, or 
     political opinion, in the country of such person's 
     nationality, or in the case of a person having no 
     nationality, the country in which such person last habitually 
     resided.
     An alien may be returned to a country in which the alien does 
     not have a credible fear of persecution and from which the 
     alien does not have a credible fear of return to persecution.
       ``(6) A special exclusion order entered in accordance with 
     the provisions of this subsection is not subject to 
     administrative review, except that the Attorney General shall 
     provide by regulation for prompt review of such an order 
     against an applicant who claims under oath, or as permitted 
     under penalty of perjury under section 1746 of title 28, 
     United States Code, after having been warned of the penalties 
     for falsely making such claim under such conditions, to be, 
     and appears to be, lawfully admitted for permanent residence.
       ``(7) A special exclusion order entered in accordance with 
     the provisions of this subsection shall have the same effect 
     as if the alien had been ordered excluded and deported 
     pursuant to section 236, except that judicial review of such 
     an order shall be available only under section 106(f).
       ``(8) Nothing in this subsection may be construed as 
     requiring an inquiry before a special inquiry officer in the 
     case of an alien crewman.''.

     SEC. 142. STREAMLINING JUDICIAL REVIEW OF ORDERS OF EXCLUSION 
                   OR DEPORTATION.

       (a) In General.--Section 106 (8 U.S.C. 1105a) is amended to 
     read as follows:


  ``judicial review of orders of deportation, exclusion, and special 
                               exclusion

       ``Sec. 106. (a) Applicable Provisions.--Except as provided 
     in subsection (b), judicial review of a final order of 
     exclusion or deportation is governed only by chapter 158 of 
     title 28 of the United States Code, but in no such review may 
     a court order the taking of additional evidence pursuant to 
     section 2347(c) of title 28, United States Code.
       ``(b) Requirements.--(1)(A) A petition for judicial review 
     must be filed not later than 30 days after the date of the 
     final order of exclusion or deportation, except that in the 
     case of any specially deportable criminal alien (as defined 
     in section 242(k)), there shall be no judicial review of any 
     final order of deportation.
       ``(B) The alien shall serve and file a brief in connection 
     with a petition for judicial review not later than 40 days 
     after the date on which the administrative record is 
     available, and may serve and file a reply brief not later 
     than 14 days after service of the brief of the Attorney 
     General, and the court may not extend these deadlines except 
     upon motion for good cause shown.
       ``(C) If an alien fails to file a brief in connection with 
     a petition for judicial review within the time provided in 
     this paragraph, the Attorney General may move to dismiss the 
     appeal, and the court shall grant such motion unless a 
     manifest injustice would result.
       ``(2) A petition for judicial review shall be filed with 
     the court of appeals for the judicial circuit in which the 
     special inquiry officer completed the proceedings.
       ``(3) The respondent of a petition for judicial review 
     shall be the Attorney General. The petition shall be served 
     on the Attorney General and on the officer or employee of the 
     Immigration and Naturalization Service in charge of the 
     Service district in which the final order of exclusion or 
     deportation was entered. Service of the petition on the 
     officer or employee does not stay the deportation of an alien 
     pending the court's decision on the petition, unless the 
     court orders otherwise.
       ``(4)(A) Except as provided in paragraph (5)(B), the court 
     of appeals shall decide the petition only on the 
     administrative record on which the order of exclusion or 
     deportation is based and the Attorney General's findings of 
     fact shall be conclusive unless a reasonable adjudicator 
     would be compelled to conclude to the contrary.
       ``(B) The Attorney General's discretionary judgment whether 
     to grant relief under section 212 (c) or (i), 244 (a) or (d), 
     or 245 shall be conclusive and shall not be subject to 
     review.
       ``(C) The Attorney General's discretionary judgment whether 
     to grant relief under section 208(a) shall be conclusive 
     unless manifestly contrary to law and an abuse of discretion.
       ``(5)(A) If the petitioner claims to be a national of the 
     United States and the court of appeals finds from the 
     pleadings and affidavits that no genuine issue of material 
     fact about the petitioner's nationality is presented, the 
     court shall decide the nationality claim.
       ``(B) If the petitioner claims to be a national of the 
     United States and the court of appeals finds that a genuine 
     issue of material fact about the petitioner's nationality is 
     presented, the court shall transfer the proceeding to the 
     district court of the United States for the judicial district 
     in which the petitioner resides for a new hearing on the 
     nationality claim and a decision on that claim as if an 
     action had been brought in the district court under section 
     2201 of title 28, United States Code.
       ``(C) The petitioner may have the nationality claim decided 
     only as provided in this section.
       ``(6)(A) If the validity of an order of deportation has not 
     been judicially decided, a defendant in a criminal proceeding 
     charged with violating subsection (d) or (e) of section 242 
     may challenge the validity of the order in the criminal 
     proceeding only by filing a separate motion before trial. The 
     district court, without a jury, shall decide the motion 
     before trial.
       ``(B) If the defendant claims in the motion to be a 
     national of the United States and the district court finds 
     that no genuine issue of material fact about the defendant's 
     nationality is presented, the court shall decide the motion 
     only on the administrative record on which the deportation 
     order is based. The administrative findings of fact are 
     conclusive if supported by reasonable, substantial, and 
     probative evidence on the record considered as a whole.
       ``(C) If the defendant claims in the motion to be a 
     national of the United States and the district court finds 
     that a genuine issue of material fact about the defendant's 
     nationality is presented, the court shall hold a new hearing 
     on the nationality claim and decide that claim as if an 
     action had been brought under section 2201 of title 28, 
     United States Code.
       ``(D) If the district court rules that the deportation 
     order is invalid, the court shall dismiss the indictment. The 
     United States Government may appeal the dismissal to the 
     court of appeals for the appropriate circuit within 30 days. 
     The defendant may not file a petition for review under this 
     section during the criminal proceeding. The defendant may 
     have the nationality claim decided only as provided in this 
     section.
       ``(7) This subsection--
       ``(A) does not prevent the Attorney General, after a final 
     order of deportation has been issued, from detaining the 
     alien under section 242(c);
       ``(B) does not relieve the alien from complying with 
     subsection (d) or (e) of section 242; and
       ``(C) except as provided in paragraph (3), does not require 
     the Attorney General to defer deportation of the alien.
       ``(8) The record and briefs do not have to be printed. The 
     court of appeals shall review the proceeding on a typewritten 
     record and on typewritten briefs.
       ``(c) Requirements for Petition.--A petition for review of 
     an order of exclusion or deportation shall state whether a 
     court has upheld the validity of the order, and, if so, shall 
     state the name of the court, the date of the court's ruling, 
     and the kind of proceeding.
       ``(d) Review of Final Orders.--
       ``(1) A court may review a final order of exclusion or 
     deportation only if--
       ``(A) the alien has exhausted all administrative remedies 
     available to the alien as a matter of right; and
       ``(B) another court has not decided the validity of the 
     order, unless, subject to paragraph (2), the reviewing court 
     finds that the petition presents grounds that could not have 
     been presented in the prior judicial proceeding or that the 
     remedy provided by the prior proceeding was inadequate or 
     ineffective to test the validity of the order.
       ``(2) Nothing in paragraph (1)(B) may be construed as 
     creating a right of review if such review would be 
     inconsistent with subsection (e), (f), or (g), or any other 
     provision of this section.
       ``(e) No Judicial Review for Orders of Deportation or 
     Exclusion Entered Against Certain Criminal Aliens.--
     Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any order of 
     exclusion or deportation against an alien who is excludable 
     or deportable by reason of having committed any criminal 
     offense described in subparagraph (A)(iii), (B),

     described in section 241(a)(2)(A)(ii), at least two of which 
     resulted in a sentence or confinement described in section 
     241(a)(2)(A)(i)(II), is not subject to review by any court.
       ``(f) Limited Review for Special Exclusion and Document 
     Fraud.--(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law,

     jurisdiction to review any individual determination or to 
     hear any other cause of action or claim arising from or 
     relating to the implementation or operation of sections 
     208(e), 212(a)(6)(iii), 235(d), and 235(e).

       ``(A) whether the petitioner is an alien;
       ``(B) whether the petitioner was ordered specially 
     excluded; and

     of the evidence that he or she is an alien lawfully admitted 
     for permanent residence and is entitled to such further 
     inquiry as is prescribed by the Attorney General pursuant to 
     section 235(e)(6).

     specially excluded under section 235(e), the court's inquiry 
     shall be limited to whether such an order in fact was issued 
     and whether it relates to the petitioner. There shall be no 
     review of whether the alien is actually excludable or 
     entitled to any relief from exclusion.
       ``(g) No Collateral Attack.--In any action brought for the 
     assessment of penalties for improper entry or reentry of an 
     alien under section 275 or 276, no court shall have

     of exclusion, special exclusion, or deportation entered under

     inserting ``by the special inquiry officer, but there shall

     SEC. 170. PRISONER TRANSFER TREATIES.

       (a) Negotiations With Other Countries.--(1) Congress 
     advises the President to begin to negotiate and renegotiate, 
     not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this 
     Act, bilateral prisoner transfer treaties, providing for the 
     incarceration, in the country of the alien's nationality, of 
     any alien who--
       (A) is a national of a country that is party to such a 
     treaty; and
       (B) has been convicted of a criminal offense under Federal 
     or State law and who--
       (i) is not in lawful immigration status in the United 
     States, or
       (ii) on the basis of conviction for a criminal offense 
     under Federal or State law, or on any other basis, is subject 
     to deportation under the Immigration and Nationality Act,

     for the duration of the prison term to which the alien was 
     sentenced for the offense referred to in subparagraph (B). 
     Any such agreement may provide for the release of such alien 
     pursuant to parole procedures of that country.
       (2) In entering into negotiations under paragraph (1), the 
     President may consider providing for appropriate 
     compensation, subject to the availability of appropriations, 
     in cases where the United States is able to independently 
     verify the adequacy of the sites where aliens will be 
     imprisoned and the length of time the alien is actually 
     incarcerated in the foreign country under such a treaty.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that--
       (1) the focus of negotiations for such agreements should 
     be--
       (A) to expedite the transfer of aliens unlawfully in the 
     United States who are (or are about to be) incarcerated in 
     United States prisons,
       (B) to ensure that a transferred prisoner serves the 
     balance of the sentence imposed by the United States courts,
       (C) to eliminate any requirement of prisoner consent to 
     such a transfer, and
       (D) to allow the Federal Government or the States to keep 
     their original prison sentences in force so that transferred 
     prisoners who return to the United States prior to the 
     completion of their original United States sentences can be 
     returned to custody for the balance of their prisons 
     sentences;
       (2) the Secretary of State should give priority to 
     concluding an agreement with any country for which the 
     President determines that the number of aliens described in 
     subsection (a) who are nationals of that country in the 
     United States represents a significant percentage of all such 
     aliens in the United States; and
       (3) no new treaty providing for the transfer of aliens from 
     Federal, State, or local incarceration facilities to a 
     foreign incarceration facility should permit the alien to 
     refuse the transfer.
       (c) Prisoner Consent.--Notwithstanding any other provision 
     of law, except as required by treaty, the transfer of an 
     alien from a Federal, State, or local incarceration facility 
     under an agreement of the type referred to in subsection (a) 
     shall not require consent of the alien.
       (d) Annual Report.--Not later than 90 days after the date 
     of the enactment of this Act, and annually thereafter, the 
     Attorney General shall submit a report to the Committees on 
     the Judiciary of the House of Representatives and of the 
     Senate stating whether each prisoner transfer treaty to which 
     the United States is a party has been effective in the 
     preceding 12 months in bringing about the return of 
     deportable incarcerated aliens to the country of which they 
     are nationals and in ensuring that they serve the balance of 
     their sentences.
       (e) Training Foreign Law Enforcement Personnel.--(1) 
     Subject to paragraph (2), the President shall direct the 
     Border Patrol Academy and the Customs Service Academy to 
     enroll for training an appropriate number of foreign law 
     enforcement personnel, and shall make appointments of 
     foreign law enforcement personnel to such academies, as 
     necessary to further the following United States law 
     enforcement goals:
       (A) prevention of drug smuggling and other cross-border 
     criminal activity;
       (B) preventing illegal immigration; and
       (C) preventing the illegal entry of goods into the United 
     States (including goods the sale of which is illegal in the 
     United States, the entry of which would cause a quota to be 
     exceeded, or which have not paid the appropriate duty or 
     tariff).
       (2) The appointments described in paragraph (1) shall be 
     made only to the extent there is capacity in such academies 
     beyond what is required to train United States citizens 
     needed in the Border Patrol and Customs Service, and only of 
     personnel from a country with which the prisoner transfer 
     treaty has been stated to be effective in the most recent 
     report referred to in subsection (d).
       (f) Authorization of Appropriations.--There are authorized 
     to be appropriated such sums as may be necessary to carry out 
     this section.

     incarcerated in Federal, State, and local penal institutions

     include the recommendations of the Secretary of State and the 
     Attorney General to increase the effectiveness and use of, 
     and full compliance with, the treaties. In considering the 
     recommendations under this subsection, the Secretary and the 
     Attorney General shall consult with such State and local 
     officials in areas disproportionately impacted by aliens 
     convicted of criminal offenses as the Secretary and the 
     Attorney General consider appropriate. Such recommendations 
     shall address--

     and to tampering; and

     United States Code; or
       (IV) to verify the individual's immigration status for

     system for any reasons other than a determination pursuant to 
     section 274A of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
       (G) The system must be capable of accurately verifying 
     electronically within 5 business days, whether a person has 
     the required immigration status in the United States and is

     substantial percentage of cases (with the objective of not 
     less than 99 percent).
       (H) There must be reasonable safeguards against the 
     system's resulting in unlawful discriminatory practices based

     verify eligibility;
       (ii) the use of the system prior to an offer of employment;
       (iii) the exclusion of certain individuals from 
     consideration for employment as a result of a perceived 
     likelihood that additional verification will be required, 
     beyond what is required for most job applicants; or
       (iv) denial reduction, termination, or unreasonable delay 
     of public assistance to an individual as a result of the 
     perceived likelihood that such additional verification will

     reliably establish such authorization or identity or, to an 
     unacceptable degree, is being used fraudulently or is being 
     requested for purposes not authorized by this Act, the 
     Attorney General may, by regulation, prohibit or place 
     conditions on the use of the document for purposes of the 
     system or the verification system established in section

       (1) In general.--(A)(i) Subject to clause (ii), the 
     President, acting through the Attorney General, shall begin 
     conducting several local and regional projects, and a project 
     in the legislative branch of the Federal Government, to 
     demonstrate the feasibility of alternative systems for 
     verifying eligibility for employment in the United States, 
     and immigration status in the United States for purposes of 
     eligibility for benefits under public assistance programs (as 
     defined in section 201(f)(3) and government benefits 
     described in section 201(f)(4)).
       (ii) Each project under this section shall be consistent 
     with the objectives of section 111(b) and this section and 
     shall be conducted in accordance with an agreement entered 
     into with the State, locality, employer, other entity, or the 
     legislative branch of the Federal Government, as the case may 
     be.
       (iii) In determining which State(s), localities, employers, 
     or other entities shall be designated for such projects, the 
     Attorney General shall take into account the estimated number 
     of excludable aliens and deportable aliens in each State or 
     locality.
       (B) For purposes of this paragraph, the term ``legislative 
     branch of the Federal Government'' includes all offices 
     described in section 101(9) of the Congressional 
     Accountability Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1301(9)) and all 
     agencies of the legislative branch of Government.
       (2) Description of projects.--Demonstration projects 
     conducted under this subsection may include, but are not 
     limited to--
       (A) a system which allows employers to verify the 
     eligibility for employment of new employees using 
     Administration records and, if necessary, to conduct a cross-
     check using Service records;
       (B) a simulated linkage of the electronic records of the 
     Service and the Administration to test the technical 
     feasibility of establishing a linkage between the actual 
     electronic records of the Service and the Administration;
       (C) improvements and additions to the electronic records of 
     the Service and the Administration for the purpose of using 
     such records for verification of employment eligibility;
       (D) a system which allows employers to verify the continued 
     eligibility for employment of employees with temporary work 
     authorization;
       (E) a system that requires employers to verify the validity 
     of employee social security account numbers through a 
     telephone call, and to verify employee identity through a 
     United States passport, a State driver's license or 
     identification document, or a document issued by the Service 
     for purposes of this clause;
       (F) a system which is based on State-issued driver's 
     licenses and identification cards that include a machine 
     readable social security account number and are resistant to 
     tampering and counterfeiting; and
       (G) a system that requires employers to verify with the 
     Service the immigration status of every employee except one 
     who has attested that he or she is a United States citizen or 
     national.
       (3) Commencement date.--The first demonstration project 
     under this section shall commence not later than six months

     cease to be effective four years after the date of enactment 
     of this Act, except that, if the President determines that 
     any one or more of the projects conducted pursuant to 
     paragraph (2) should be renewed, or one or more additional 
     projects should be conducted before a plan is recommended 
     under section 111(a)(1)(A), the President may conduct such 
     project or projects for up to an additional three-year 
     period, without regard to section 274A(d)(4)(A) of the 
     Immigration and Nationality Act.
       (b) Objectives.--The objectives of the demonstration 
     projects conducted under this section are--
       (1) to assist the Attorney General in measuring the 
     benefits and costs of systems for verifying eligibility for 
     employment in the United States, and immigration status in 
     the United States for purposes of eligibility for benefits 
     under public assistance programs defined in section 201(f)(3) 
     and for government benefits described in section 201(f)(4);
       (2) to assist the Service and the Administration in

     obtaining of such documents, including a nationwide system to 
     match birth and death records;
       (2) require appropriate notice to prospective employees 
     concerning employers' participation in a demonstration 
     project, which notice shall contain information on filing

       (i) certification by the agency issuing the birth 
     certificate, and
       (ii) use of safety paper, the seal of the issuing agency,

     Code, the United States Sentencing Commission shall review 
     its guidelines on sentencing for peonage, involuntary 
     servitude, and slave trade offenses under sections 1581 
     through 1588 of title 18, United States Code, and shall amend 
     such guidelines as necessary to--
       (1) reduce or eliminate any unwarranted disparity found 
     under subsection (b) that exists between the sentences for 
     peonage, involuntary servitude, and slave trade offenses, and 
     the sentences for kidnapping offenses and alien smuggling 
     offenses;
       (2) ensure that the applicable guidelines for defendants 
     convicted of peonage, involuntary servitude, and slave trade 
     offenses are sufficiently stringent to deter such offenses 
     and adequately reflect the heinous nature of such offenses; 
     and
       (3) ensure that the guidelines reflect the general 
     appropriateness of enhanced sentences for defendants whose 
     peonage, involuntary servitude, or slave trade offenses 
     involve--
       (A) a large number of victims;
       (B) the use or threatened use of a dangerous weapon; or
       (C) a prolonged period of peonage or involuntary servitude.

                   TERRORISTS.

       Section 212(a)(3)(B)(iii)(III) (8 U.S.C. 
     1182(a)(3)(B)(iii)(III)) is amended by inserting 
     ``documentation or'' before ``identification''.

                   PART 4--EXCLUSION AND DEPORTATION

     SEC. 141. SPECIAL EXCLUSION PROCEDURE.

       (a) Arrivals From Contiguous Foreign Territory.--Section 
     235 (8 U.S.C. 1225) is amended--
       (1) by redesignating subsection (b) as subsection (b)(1); 
     and
       (2) by adding at the end of subsection (b)(1), as 
     redesignated, the following new paragraph:
       ``(2) If an alien subject to such further inquiry has 
     arrived from a foreign territory contiguous to the United 
     States, either at a land port of entry or on the land of the 
     United States other than at a designated port of entry, the 
     alien may be returned to that territory pending the 
     inquiry.''.
       (b) Special Orders of Exclusion and Deportation.--Section 
     235 (8 U.S.C. 1225), as amended by section 132 of this Act, 
     is further amended by adding at the end the following:
       ``(e)(1) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (b) 
     of this section and section 236, the Attorney General may, 
     without referral to a special inquiry officer or after such a 
     referral, order the exclusion and deportation of any alien 
     if--
       ``(A) the alien appears to an examining immigration 
     officer, or to a special inquiry officer if such referral is 
     made, to be an alien who--
       ``(i) has entered the United States without having been 
     inspected and admitted by an immigration officer pursuant to 
     this section, unless such alien affirmatively demonstrates to 
     the satisfaction of such immigration officer or special 
     inquiry officer that he has been physically present in the 
     United States for an uninterrupted period of at least two 
     years since such entry without inspection;
       ``(ii) is excludable under section 212(a)(6)(C)(iii);
       ``(iii) is brought or escorted under the authority of the 
     United States into the United States, having been on board a 
     vessel encountered outside of the territorial waters of the 
     United States by officers of the United States;
       ``(iv) is brought or escorted under the authority of the 
     United States to a port of entry, having been on board a 
     vessel encountered within the territorial sea or internal 
     waters of the United States; or
       ``(v) has arrived on a vessel transporting aliens to the 
     United States without such alien having received prior 
     official authorization to come to, enter, or reside in the 
     United States; or
       ``(B) the Attorney General has determined that the numbers 
     or circumstances of aliens en route to or arriving in the 
     United States, by land, sea, or air, present an extraordinary 
     migration situation.
       ``(2) As used in this section, the phrase `extraordinary 
     migration situation' means the arrival or imminent arrival in 
     the United States or its territorial waters of aliens who by 
     their numbers or circumstances substantially exceed the 
     capacity for the inspection and examination of such aliens.
       ``(3)(A) Subject to subparagraph (B), the determination of 
     whether there exists an extraordinary migration situation or 
     whether to invoke the provisions of paragraph (1) (A) or (B) 
     is committed to the sole and exclusive discretion of the 
     Attorney General.
       ``(B) The provisions of this subsection may be invoked 
     under paragraph (1)(B) for a period not to exceed 90 days, 
     unless, within such 90-day period or an extension thereof 
     authorized by this subparagraph, the Attorney General 
     determines, after consultation with the Committees on the 
     Judiciary of the Senate and the House of Representatives, 
     that an extraordinary migration situation continues to 
     warrant such procedures remaining in effect for an additional 
     90-day period.
       ``(4) When the Attorney General invokes the provisions of 
     clause (iii), (iv), or (v) of paragraph (1)(A) or paragraph 
     (1)(B), the Attorney General may, pursuant to this section 
     and sections 235(e) and 106(f), suspend, in whole or in part, 
     the operation of immigration regulations regarding the 
     inspection and exclusion of aliens.
       ``(5) No alien may be ordered specially excluded under 
     paragraph (1) if--
       ``(A) such alien is eligible to seek, and seeks, asylum 
     under section 208; and
       ``(B) the Attorney General determines, in the procedure 
     described in section 208(e), that such alien has a credible 
     fear of persecution on account of race, religion, 
     nationality, membership in a particular social group, or 
     political opinion, in the country of such person's 
     nationality, or in the case of a person having no 
     nationality, the country in which such person last habitually 
     resided.
     An alien may be returned to a country in which the alien does 
     not have a credible fear of persecution and from which the 
     alien does not have a credible fear of return to persecution.
       ``(6) A special exclusion order entered in accordance with 
     the provisions of this subsection is not subject to 
     administrative review, except that the Attorney General shall 
     provide by regulation for prompt review of such an order 
     against an applicant who claims under oath, or as permitted 
     under penalty of perjury under section 1746 of title 28, 
     United States Code, after having been warned of the penalties 
     for falsely making such claim under such conditions, to be, 
     and appears to be, lawfully admitted for permanent residence.
       ``(7) A special exclusion order entered in accordance with 
     the provisions of this subsection shall have the same effect 
     as if the alien had been ordered excluded and deported 
     pursuant to section 236, except that judicial review of such 
     an order shall be available only under section 106(f).
       ``(8) Nothing in this subsection may be construed as 
     requiring an inquiry before a special inquiry officer in the 
     case of an alien crewman.''.

     SEC. 142. STREAMLINING JUDICIAL REVIEW OF ORDERS OF EXCLUSION 
                   OR DEPORTATION.

       (a) In General.--Section 106 (8 U.S.C. 1105a) is amended to 
     read as follows:


  ``judicial review of orders of deportation, exclusion, and special 
                               exclusion

       ``Sec. 106. (a) Applicable Provisions.--Except as provided 
     in subsection (b), judicial review of a final order of 
     exclusion or deportation is governed only by chapter 158 of 
     title 28 of the United States Code, but in no such review may 
     a court order the taking of additional evidence pursuant to 
     section 2347(c) of title 28, United States Code.
       ``(b) Requirements.--(1)(A) A petition for judicial review 
     must be filed not later than 30 days after the date of the 
     final order of exclusion or deportation, except that in the 
     case of any specially deportable criminal alien (as defined 
     in section 242(k)), there shall be no judicial review of any 
     final order of deportation.
       ``(B) The alien shall serve and file a brief in connection 
     with a petition for judicial review not later than 40 days 
     after the date on which the administrative record is 
     available, and may serve and file a reply brief not later 
     than 14 days after service of the brief of the Attorney 
     General, and the court may not extend these deadlines except 
     upon motion for good cause shown.
       ``(C) If an alien fails to file a brief in connection with 
     a petition for judicial review within the time provided in 
     this paragraph, the Attorney General may move to dismiss the 
     appeal, and the court shall grant such motion unless a 
     manifest injustice would result.
       ``(2) A petition for judicial review shall be filed with 
     the court of appeals for the judicial circuit in which the 
     special inquiry officer completed the proceedings.
       ``(3) The respondent of a petition for judicial review 
     shall be the Attorney General. The petition shall be served 
     on the Attorney General and on the officer or employee of the 
     Immigration and Naturalization Service in charge of the 
     Service district in which the final order of exclusion or 
     deportation was entered. Service of the petition on the 
     officer or employee does not stay the deportation of an alien 
     pending the court's decision on the petition, unless the 
     court orders otherwise.
       ``(4)(A) Except as provided in paragraph (5)(B), the court 
     of appeals shall decide the petition only on the 
     administrative record on which the order of exclusion or 
     deportation is based and the Attorney General's

[[Page S4234]]

     findings of fact shall be conclusive unless a reasonable 
     adjudicator would be compelled to conclude to the contrary.
       ``(B) The Attorney General's discretionary judgment whether 
     to grant relief under section 212 (c) or (i), 244 (a) or (d), 
     or 245 shall be conclusive and shall not be subject to 
     review.
       ``(C) The Attorney General's discretionary judgment whether 
     to grant relief under section 208(a) shall be conclusive 
     unless manifestly contrary to law and an abuse of discretion.
       ``(5)(A) If the petitioner claims to be a national of the 
     United States and the court of appeals finds from the 
     pleadings and affidavits that no genuine issue of material 
     fact about the petitioner's nationality is presented, the 
     court shall decide the nationality claim.
       ``(B) If the petitioner claims to be a national of the 
     United States and the court of appeals finds that a genuine 
     issue of material fact about the petitioner's nationality is 
     presented, the court shall transfer the proceeding to the 
     district court of the United States for the judicial district 
     in which the petitioner resides for a new hearing on the 
     nationality claim and a decision on that claim as if an 
     action had been brought in the district court under section 
     2201 of title 28, United States Code.
       ``(C) The petitioner may have the nationality claim decided 
     only as provided in this section.
       ``(6)(A) If the validity of an order of deportation has not 
     been judicially decided, a defendant in a criminal proceeding 
     charged with violating subsection (d) or (e) of section 242 
     may challenge the validity of the order in the criminal 
     proceeding only by filing a separate motion before trial. The 
     district court, without a jury, shall decide the motion 
     before trial.
       ``(B) If the defendant claims in the motion to be a 
     national of the United States and the district court finds 
     that no genuine issue of material fact about the defendant's 
     nationality is presented, the court shall decide the motion 
     only on the administrative record on which the deportation 
     order is based. The administrative findings of fact are 
     conclusive if supported by reasonable, substantial, and 
     probative evidence on the record considered as a whole.
       ``(C) If the defendant claims in the motion to be a 
     national of the United States and the district court finds 
     that a genuine issue of material fact about the defendant's 
     nationality is presented, the court shall hold a new hearing 
     on the nationality claim and decide that claim as if an 
     action had been brought under section 2201 of title 28, 
     United States Code.
       ``(D) If the district court rules that the deportation 
     order is invalid, the court shall dismiss the indictment. The 
     United States Government may appeal the dismissal to the 
     court of appeals for the appropriate circuit within 30 days. 
     The defendant may not file a petition for review under this 
     section during the criminal proceeding. The defendant may 
     have the nationality claim decided only as provided in this 
     section.
       ``(7) This subsection--
       ``(A) does not prevent the Attorney General, after a final 
     order of deportation has been issued, from detaining the 
     alien under section 242(c);
       ``(B) does not relieve the alien from complying with 
     subsection (d) or (e) of section 242; and
       ``(C) except as provided in paragraph (3), does not require 
     the Attorney General to defer deportation of the alien.
       ``(8) The record and briefs do not have to be printed. The 
     court of appeals shall review the proceeding on a typewritten 
     record and on typewritten briefs.
       ``(c) Requirements for Petition.--A petition for review of 
     an order of exclusion or deportation shall state whether a 
     court has upheld the validity of the order, and, if so, shall 
     state the name of the court, the date of the court's ruling, 
     and the kind of proceeding.
       ``(d) Review of Final Orders.--
       ``(1) A court may review a final order of exclusion or 
     deportation only if--
       ``(A) the alien has exhausted all administrative remedies 
     available to the alien as a matter of right; and
       ``(B) another court has not decided the validity of the 
     order, unless, subject to paragraph (2), the reviewing court 
     finds that the petition presents grounds that could not have 
     been presented in the prior judicial proceeding or that the 
     remedy provided by the prior proceeding was inadequate or 
     ineffective to test the validity of the order.
       ``(2) Nothing in paragraph (1)(B) may be construed as 
     creating a right of review if such review would be 
     inconsistent with subsection (e), (f), or (g), or any other 
     provision of this section.
       ``(e) No Judicial Review for Orders of Deportation or 
     Exclusion Entered Against Certain Criminal Aliens.--
     Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any order of 
     exclusion or deportation against an alien who is excludable 
     or deportable by reason of having committed any criminal 
     offense described in subparagraph (A)(iii), (B), (C), or (D) 
     of section 241(a)(2), or two or more offenses described in 
     section 241(a)(2)(A)(ii), at least two of which resulted in a 
     sentence or confinement described in section 
     241(a)(2)(A)(i)(II), is not subject to review by any court.
       ``(f) Limited Review for Special Exclusion and Document 
     Fraud.--(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, 
     except as provided in this subsection, no court shall have 
     jurisdiction to review any individual determination or to 
     hear any other cause of action or claim arising from or 
     relating to the implementation or operation of sections 
     208(e), 212(a)(6)(iii), 235(d), and 235(e).

     be no judicial review of--
       ``(i) a decision by the Attorney General to invoke the 
     provisions of section 235(e);

     aliens, including the determination made under paragraph (5);

     General to implement the provisions of section 235(e).

     or the identity of the party or parties bringing the action, 
     no court shall have jurisdiction or authority to enter 
     declaratory, injunctive, or other equitable relief not 
     specifically authorized in this subsection, or to certify a 
     class under Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
       ``(3) Judicial review of any cause, claim, or individual 
     determination made or arising under or relating to 
     section 208(e), 212(a)(6)(iii), 235(d), or 235(e) shall 
     only be available in a habeas corpus proceeding, and shall 
     be limited to determinations of--
       ``(A) whether the petitioner is an alien;
       ``(B) whether the petitioner was ordered specially 
     excluded; and
       ``(C) whether the petitioner can prove by a preponderance 
     of the evidence that he or she is an alien lawfully admitted 
     for permanent residence and is entitled to such further 
     inquiry as is prescribed by the Attorney General pursuant to 
     section 235(e)(6).
       ``(4)(A) In any case where the court determines that the 
     petitioner--
       ``(i) is an alien who was not ordered specially excluded 
     under section 235(e), or

     that the petitioner be provided a hearing in accordance with 
     section 236 or a determination in accordance with section 
     235(c) or 273(d).
       ``(B) Any alien who is provided a hearing under section 236 
     pursuant to these provisions may thereafter obtain judicial 
     review of any resulting final order of exclusion pursuant to 
     this section.

     specially excluded under section 235(e), the court's inquiry 
     shall be limited to whether such an order in fact was issued 
     and whether it relates to the petitioner. There shall be no 
     review of whether the alien is actually excludable or 
     entitled to any relief from exclusion.
       ``(g) No Collateral Attack.--In any action brought for the 
     assessment of penalties for improper entry or reentry of an 
     alien under section 275 or 276, no court shall have 
     jurisdiction to hear claims attacking the validity of orders 
     of exclusion, special exclusion, or deportation entered under 
     section 235, 236, or 242.''.
       (b) Rescission of Order.--Section 242B(c)(3) (8 U.S.C. 
     1252b(c)(3)) is amended by striking the period at the end and 
     inserting ``by the special inquiry officer, but there shall 
     be no stay pending further administrative or judicial review, 
     unless ordered because of individually compelling 
     circumstances.''.
       (c) Clerical Amendment.--The table of contents of the Act 
     is amended by amending the item relating to section 106 to

     out under paragraph (1) (C) or (D) of subsection (a), are no

     SEC. 170. PRISONER TRANSFER TREATIES.

       (a) Negotiations With Other Countries.--(1) Congress 
     advises the President to begin to negotiate and renegotiate, 
     not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this 
     Act, bilateral prisoner transfer treaties, providing for the 
     incarceration, in the country of the alien's nationality, of 
     any alien who--
       (A) is a national of a country that is party to such a 
     treaty; and
       (B) has been convicted of a criminal offense under Federal 
     or State law and who--
       (i) is not in lawful immigration status in the United 
     States, or
       (ii) on the basis of conviction for a criminal offense 
     under Federal or State law, or on any other basis, is subject 
     to deportation under the Immigration and Nationality Act,
     for the duration of the prison term to which the alien was 
     sentenced for the offense referred to in subparagraph (B). 
     Any such agreement may provide for the release of such alien 
     pursuant to parole procedures of that country.
       (2) In entering into negotiations under paragraph (1), the 
     President may consider providing for appropriate 
     compensation, subject to the availability of appropriations, 
     in cases where the United States is able to independently 
     verify the adequacy of the sites where aliens will be 
     imprisoned and the length of time the alien is actually 
     incarcerated in the foreign country under such a treaty.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that--
       (1) the focus of negotiations for such agreements should 
     be--
       (A) to expedite the transfer of aliens unlawfully in the 
     United States who are (or are about to be) incarcerated in 
     United States prisons,
       (B) to ensure that a transferred prisoner serves the 
     balance of the sentence imposed by the United States courts,
       (C) to eliminate any requirement of prisoner consent to 
     such a transfer, and
       (D) to allow the Federal Government or the States to keep 
     their original prison sentences in force so that transferred 
     prisoners who return to the United States prior to the 
     completion of their original United States sentences can be 
     returned to custody for the balance of their prisons 
     sentences;
       (2) the Secretary of State should give priority to 
     concluding an agreement with any country for which the 
     President determines that the number of aliens described in 
     subsection (a) who are nationals of that country in the 
     United States represents a significant percentage of all such 
     aliens in the United States; and
       (3) no new treaty providing for the transfer of aliens from 
     Federal, State, or local incarceration facilities to a 
     foreign incarceration facility should permit the alien to 
     refuse the transfer.
       (c) Prisoner Consent.--Notwithstanding any other provision 
     of law, except as required by treaty, the transfer of an 
     alien from a Federal, State, or local incarceration facility 
     under an agreement of the type referred to in subsection (a) 
     shall not require consent of the alien.
       (d) Annual Report.--Not later than 90 days after the date 
     of the enactment of this Act, and annually thereafter, the 
     Attorney General shall submit a report to the Committees on 
     the Judiciary of the House of Representatives and of the 
     Senate stating whether each prisoner transfer treaty to which 
     the United States is a party has been effective in the 
     preceding 12 months in bringing about the return of 
     deportable incarcerated aliens to the country of which they 
     are nationals and in ensuring that they serve the balance of 
     their sentences.
       (e) Training Foreign Law Enforcement Personnel.--(1) 
     Subject to paragraph (2), the President shall direct the 
     Border Patrol Academy and the Customs Service Academy to 
     enroll for training an appropriate number of foreign law 
     enforcement personnel, and shall make appointments of 
     foreign law enforcement personnel to such academies, as 
     necessary to further the following United States law 
     enforcement goals:
       (A) prevention of drug smuggling and other cross-border 
     criminal activity;
       (B) preventing illegal immigration; and
       (C) preventing the illegal entry of goods into the United 
     States (including goods the sale of which is illegal in the 
     United States, the entry of which would cause a quota to be 
     exceeded, or which have not paid the appropriate duty or 
     tariff).
       (2) The appointments described in paragraph (1) shall be 
     made only to the extent there is capacity in such academies 
     beyond what is required to train United States citizens 
     needed in the Border Patrol and Customs Service, and only of 
     personnel from a country with which the prisoner transfer 
     treaty has been stated to be effective in the most recent 
     report referred to in subsection (d).
       (f) Authorization of Appropriations.--There are authorized 
     to be appropriated such sums as may be necessary to carry out 
     this section.

     officials in areas disproportionately impacted by aliens 
     convicted of criminal offenses as the Secretary and the 
     Attorney General consider appropriate. Such recommendations 
     shall address--
       (1) changes in Federal laws, regulations, and policies 
     affecting the identification, prosecution, and deportation of 
     aliens who have committed criminal offenses in the United 
     States;
