After 50 years of being excluded. and after he had retired as the chief law enforcement officer of his own city. even then. Immigration excluded him. But the evidence was so compelling that this was arbitrary. capricious and not in accordance with the clear intent of the law that this House and the Congress passed a private bill to allow that man to come over. I present this example merely as one of many showing the way in which inflexible standards have been used by the INS. I sometimes believe that such clearly irrational decisions are made to justify their existence more than anything else. because they tie up more of their manpower doing things that are so obviously nonsensical. relying on arbitrary language that seems to justify their action.
