“[i]f the examining immigration officer has reason to believe that the cause of an alien’s excludability can readily be removed by the posting of a bond ..., or by the exercise of [discretionary authority conferred by statute], or by granting permission to reapply for admission after deportation or removal, he may in lieu of detaining the alien for hearing ... refer the alien’s case to the district director.”
