            No statutory or constitutional rights of an alien attempting to enter the United

            States are violated by an order, issued by the Attorney General under statutory

            authority, by which the alien, without a hearing or disclosure of evidence, is, on

            security grounds, excluded from entering the United States after a voluntary absence.

            His detention for an indefinite time is lawful, even though all efforts to effect his

            departure have failed.
