Foreign Nationals' Rights on Entry to the US

I've tried searching both the forum and Google for something on this, but couldn't find anything. If there is a previous thread I'd be grateful if you could point me in the right direction.

I'll be entering the US as a foreign national for the first time towards the end of this month. I've seen countless debates on the rights of US citizens, but nothing on the rights of foreign nationals. Other than the right of consular notification (and access?), do we have any rights at all if/when pulled in for 'secondary' by CBP?

As a side note, I'll be arriving on QF107 SYD-NYC, which stops in LAX for 2 hours where passengers are processed for immigration. There's a good chance I will be pulled in for secondary (I fit the profile), and will thus miss my onward flight to NYC (which is on the same QF 744 plane I landed in LAX on). Who makes the arrangements for scheduling me on a later flight?
