The legal and policy tools to fix this already exist.
My piece in the Conversation on some barriers to family reunion for refugees.
These are not new ideas; they are the policy changes that many refugees, organisations, lawyers, migration agents, and advocates have worked tirelessly, for years, to push for change. theconversation.com/im-always-af...
