INTRODUCTION In July, 1980, the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) decided to grant United States asylum to Walter Polovchak pursuant to the 1980 Refugee Act.2 Five years later, on July 17, 1985, the Dis- trict Court of Illinois declared this grant of asylum void on the ground that the INS's asylum procedure, under which Walter had obtained his grant of asylum, had violated his parents' rights to due process under the fourteenth amendment of the United States Constitution.

INTRODUCTION IN recent years, with increasing regularity, legal scholars and other com- mentators have called for changes in the legal systems and rules that govern child welfare.' Much of this discourse has been driven by a series of wrenching custody cases, in which judges have been called upon to bal- ance the claims of biological parents against those of third parties who have established durable attachments with children in their care. Under- standably, public opinion almost invariably supports the "de facto" or "psy- chological" parents, on the ground that it would do enormous harm to remove young children from a nurturing home. At the same time, claims of birth parents tend to be discounted as rigid formalities-mere proce- dural rights of adults that should not be allowed to interfere with the obvi- ous and unarguable interests of the children.

HILLINGER * INTRODUCTION On July 30, 1980, an all-too-common drama played itself out in a Chicago juvenile courtroom.• Judge Mooney decided the case of a twelve-year-old boy who had run away from home because he objected to his parents' decision to move out of state. Judge Mooney heard testimony from the boy, his older sister (with whom he had run away), his parents and several psychiatrists. On August 4, Judge Mooney announced his decision: he found the boy's running away sufficient to support a finding that he was beyond his parents' con­ trol. The judge therefore declared the boy to be a minor in need of supervision (MINS) 2 and made him a ward of the court.

DOING BETTER FOR CHILD MIGRANTS SUSAN FRELICH APPLETON* Professor Ann Laquer Estin’s Child Migrants and Child Welfare: Toward a Best Interests Approach1 makes several important contributions to our understanding of the complicated legal questions posed by a timely and too often tragic phenomenon: large numbers of unaccompanied child migrants, including many coming into the United States. Estin helpfully disentangles and explores the welter of possibly applicable laws, from U.S. constitutional provisions to international human rights laws, federal immigration laws, and state family laws.2 Her careful analysis also exposes significant gaps, pointing out how some issues fall between relevant bodies of law.3 Although each of the sources of law canvassed in the article is animated by its own set of values and assumptions, Estin’s bottom line is that “we can and should do better”4 for the children in question.
