Text: When the BIA adopts the reasoning of the IJ, we review the decision of the IJ. See Kazlauskas v. INS, 46 F.3d 902, 905 (9th Cir.1995) (Because the BIA did not independently review [the applicant's] case and instead adopted the IJ's opinion, we review the decision of the IJ.); 8 C.F.R. § 1003.1(e)(4). We review the IJ's determination that an applicant has not established asylum eligibility for substantial evidence, see Tang v. Gonzales, 489 F.3d 987, 989-90 (9th Cir.2007), upholding a determination when it is `supported by reasonable, substantial, and probative evidence on the record considered as a whole,' Gormley v. Ashcroft, 364 F.3d 1172, 1176 (9th Cir.2004) (quoting INS v. Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478, 481, 112 S.Ct. 812, 117 L.Ed.2d 38 (1992)). To reverse a finding we must find that the evidence not only supports that conclusion, but compels it. Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. at 481 n. 1, 112 S.Ct. 812.
