The court also showed concern with the INS policy of not considering the communist-totalitarian state to itself justify the consideration of Elian's asylum petition.Ultimately,however,the court found the INS decision not to be unreasonable.Do you believe it is possible for an administrative agency to be able to make fair and constitutionally defendable alternative decisions based on varying fact situations on a case-by-case basis,or must a single,fairly rigid policy be utilized?
